      While I agree that many land lords are predatory, there are reasons that people want to rent sometimes. To give one example, should a college kid be required to buy a home to have a place to live during college?

      I’m not going to give more examples right now because it’s not really worth my time but there are good reasons that someone might want to rent and that necessitates that there are places available to be rented.

      I’d argue for limits on ownership and significant progressive property taxes for ownership beyond a certain number of units.
