    I don’t think you’ll see the results you want out of this. Instead what you’ll see is that the rental companies will shut down and divide up their properties among their shareholders so that each shareholder ends up with 3 houses (or whatever number you set as the limit). If there are too many houses and not enough shareholders then they will sell more shares until the numbers work out.

        Not billions, but thousands to millions. Many, many investments are owned by pension funds and the like. You know, regular people’s retirement funds.

        You keep wanting there to be a villain in this story but it’s just not the case. Sometimes societal problems are caused by collective action with misaligned incentives.

          Cool, we can add a clause that prevents that.

          Every problem you can think of can be solved.

          This is how laws are made. People sit down and have discussions like this.

            Yes. Collective action problems can be solved by collective action. All you’ve got to do is convince enough people to go along with you!
