I don't get this argument.
Homelessness is not a problem home owners should solve. It's absurd to think the solution is simply moving homeless people into unoccupied homes. We should address the root societal, economic and often personal causes of homelessness to begin with: lack of jobs, low income / unaffordable housing, mental health, etc.
What you're proposing is limiting prosperity for successful people, while allowing scammers like squatters to prosper instead. Why should I work to own a home if I can just take over someone else's?
Wealth inequality is a problem, but this is not the way to fix it.
- gammalost 5y agoIt wouldn't help scammers because there wouldn't be a second home to squat. Not allowing people to own two homes would mean that all rich people can't buy and drive up the cost of property. And no it's not a fix to wealth inequality. It's a way to help try and solve a common problem
- llampx 5y agoIt is naive to think that thieves and scammers will go away so easily if other people just become poorer.
