Yeah, at the expense of everyone lower on the financial ladder than they are. Personally, I'd be ok with it being straight up illegal to own a residence you do not live in. A bunch of rich people might cry about it, but compared to the suffering of people living on the street or just struggling to pay outrageously inflated cost of basic shelter, I don't give a shit.
