    How about regulating all the big companies - prohibit sitting on apartments to drive up rents, limit Airbnbs,that sort of thing.

          “prohibit sitting on apartments to raise rent” which idk what it even theoretically means, and limiting AirBnBs, are both means of constraining housing.

            prohibit sitting on apartments to raise rent - prohibit leaving apartments empty to keep rent high

            Limiting air bnbs - keep housing for permanent resident rather than short term rent

            You don’t need to keep a short term rental to not limit housing. Otherwise hotel rooms that can be upwards of $300 would count as houses.

              prohibit leaving apartments empty to raise rent

              Gonna need to see some citations on that happening, and reasoning as to why someone is not allowed to not rent out their property.

              If you limit AirBnBs you’re just directly limiting housing, and there’s no other way to even begin to phrase that.

              Hotel rooms won’t ever count as houses because you don’t own them, the hotel does.
