Make a secondary house all but impossible to own via property tax, and make it illegal for corporations to own property. Watch housing cost plummet through the floor.
The issue is that they’re already doing this with HOAs. They don’t care if they owne your house, but they own the dirt under it and can evict you for bullshit reasons. Make corporate HOAs illegal too
The people that would write these laws are the ones profiting off the exploits in the system. The politicians literally get legal bribes to allow the behaviour.
Oh not only can you, it’s encouraged. I see libs talking on Reddit about how it’s actually better than renting because you take on a risk when renting and an empty house builds value and doesn’t run the chance of damage.
This is of course why private property sucks, but if the general populous can’t stomach that, I’d be willing to settle for georgism.

You are asking to make corporations illegal which I am admittedly in favor of but don’t think that’s what you were going for
Make it illegal for companies to own standalone housing then.
No, just make corporations rent land or property from the government.
It wasn’t intentional, but I believe that my subconscious knows what’s up, so I’ll stick with it.
100%. Right now you can write your empty property off on your taxes as a loss in most places*
*In the US
It’s insanity. Should be the complete opposite. If there’s no renter in it? More tax!

Good lord those people are idiots. Few things kill a house faster than being uninhabited
