    Why should they get a rental property? Why should basic fundamental human necessities of which we have plenty be treated as commodities? You get the house you live in, and I get the house I live in, and if you want to try to extort me for payment for that house no one should support you.

      Some people have seasonal homes, and spend half the year in each. I’m not opposed to renting out the vacant one (which was part of the original purpose of air bnb). It’s a little lavish, sure, but definitely not the same as hoarding property to rent out.

      Some people do prefer to rent than deal with the hassle of homeownership, so there is a place for people renting out a second property. No one needs to rent out more than one property through, corporate ownership should be abolished for anything that is not a single building (i.e. 50 units in a condo building) as well.
