Make property ownership a shit investment.

Cap revenue from rent to 5-10%. Tax the living fuck out of empty properties so they'll take someone, anyone. Tax higher the more properties they own.

Also outright ban AirBnB and make it so corporations are not allowed to own houses.

Yes please, houses are for people, corporations have no business (heh) owning houses.

AirBnB is exacerbating the problem, they need to be regulated to hell or outright banned.
