minus-squareKecessa@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-24 months agoAll housing? Not realistic. All buildings over a certain number of rental units? Would make way too much sense. What I would like to see is: -Forbidden to own more than one property in a certain radius -Buildings with up to 3 units could only be owned by private parties -Buildings with 4 to 7 residential units need to be owned by a form of corporation or cooperative -Anything bigger than that should be nationalized and ran by a State run non profit
