No person should be allowed to own more residential property than they're realistically need for living.

I'm just curious how we'll define "realistic", because someone who's into just software programming might be satisfied with a studio apartment. I can't live without my basement workshop however. I like to make stuff.

That's valid. But, for example: You don't need a dozen of different houses.

Either end of the scale is clear. Less clear in the middle 😞

Would a handyman who is fixing up several at a time need that many?

How many houses can a person fix at once? Do you need to own them while fixing them? Why?

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Does the handyman permanently live in all of them?

This is it right here. Housing is a right, not a commodity. Landlords shouldn't exist.
