    I really don’t because the economics here doesn’t change. You’re just trying to moral high-ground economic concepts, which isn’t useful for policy solutions.

    It’s good for rhetoric tho, and we need to change minds, so it’s not a total waste.

      What moral high ground? It’s easy to fix, make it so corporations can’t own more than a certain amount of units and corporations in general as a percentage of units in a city. If anyone has more than 4 airBNB units, you have to become a hotel. Simple solutions that won’t catch every instance but will make a dent.

        “corporations bad” is a moral stance. It’s irrelevant to the underlying economics

        We aren’t debating policy. we agree on policy.
