    Exactly. It’s rare and valuable. So a single person shouldn’t be allowed to own 12 houses and price gouge them.

    Everyone should be allowed 1. If you have a reason to need a second one, you should have to be approved and provide a really good reason.

    But nah. Let’s let one person own 12 because they were there first.

      My take is everyone should be entitled to one, then do whatever you want with what’s left.

        That’s the problem, there isn’t even enough for everyone to have one. There are no left overs.

        This is why pretty much everyone I know at 25-32 years old, now live at home with their parents. Not only is it unaffordable thanks to landlords profiting off them, but there aren’t enough to even go around.

          That’s why the “then” was key.

          I’m just talking because there’s probably no realistic way to make it possible at this point, but assuming countries could “buy back” houses from landlords until they have enough for everyone, I wouldn’t mind people having more than one house as long as everyone has at least one.
