I would like governments in countries with housing crisis to do something different - soft limit how many properties can a person own by inducing taxes that drastically increase with each new owned property. Most people just want to own a roof over their head without getting into debt for life, but because some people treat housing as an investment and buy properties in bulk - which results in prices skyrocketing - they become unaffordable for an avarage Joe who has no other choice but to rent forever and just make the landlords richer.
