you're welcome to your opinion, and can support & promote this position, but you had better be prepared for me to make arbitrary limits around things you covet as well: no one needs more than one child / car / computer, $XXX retirement savings, n years of education, etc.
For the most part free societies don't dictate directly but shape with the carrot and the stick.
- gammalost 5y agoIf a lack of cars, computers etc became a problem then I would be against people hoarding it aswell
- llampx 5y agoThe real issue is not homes but rather wealth, and some people (and some countries) have more of it than others. Unless you have a solution to reshape the Gini coefficient, setting arbitrary limits on the number of things one can own is not going to solve anything. Much the same way as rent controls don't solve anything.
- gammalost 5y agoDon't know where you live. But a big problem with rent controll here in Sweden is that it's just not enough appartments to go around. Sweden at least would need a new million programme or something similar
- c22 5y agoWhat if a surplus of those things is causing problems?
