In an attempt to deal with an affordable housing crisis, the Dutch housing minister recently proposed a law that would have allowed municipalities to force some property owners to sell their homes only to low and middle-income earners. The problem the policy is trying to fix is one that’s particularly acute in Canada.
Add a yearly tax that is tied to (federal reserve interest * house value) for anything other than primary residence and since people are corporations they would also be affected.
People aren’t corporations. In the US, corporations are considered ‘people’ for legal purposes. Anyway, making it illegal for corporations to buy investment houses would be great.
