What do you propose? No one owns land? Or everyone should be able to purchase a home?
Making it illegal to rent property you don't personally live on.
If someone wants to rent out their basement, or split their home into a duplex then they are creating housing and I have no problem with that. Someone purchasing a home they have no intention living in so they can profit off someone else requiring shelter to live is a parasite.
I can't quite imagine how hotels would work then. Generally, you'd say "Oh, we'll make an exception for them" but then many people would try to skirt themselves into the exception.
Why are we pretending different dwelling classifications don't already exist? Hotels are an entire classification unto itself, same with homesteads, which is what op is referring to
Do you think people who stay at a hotel have the same rights under the law as renters?
Last I heard, many urban landlords are getting out of that business and becoming hotel owners via Airbnb. It helps to make sure that those that do stay in the business have a healthy supply of tenants.
~~Is this supposed to be some kinda gotcha? You think everyone being able to purchase a home is some kinda outlandish impossible feat?~~
No, serious question. Just wondering what world was being envisioned.
Not everyone wants to buy a house - if I know I'm only staying in an area for a year or two, I wouldn't want to go to the hassle of buying and selling a place. Or if I move to a new area, renting for a while until I decide where I want to live longer term is a useful tool.
Ahh, I see! Personally, I think if everyone was able to afford a home, then buying and selling one wouldn't really be a hassle.
Makes sense. If it were more like buying a car, say.
