If you pay 1% for one house, someone with 2 houses should pay 2%, and a company with 2000 homes should pay 2000%

That would make it increasingly difficult for mega companies to buy up everything and torture the housing market

    With the current trend of 2/3rds of housing kept empty for speculation, you’d probably buy and sell a house for uni (and probably make a profit instead of spending like 200k).

    And also university already requires a shit load of capital? That’s kinda the whole point, so poor people are poor for a “reason”.

    Also it’d be simple for university residences to explode it quality and quantity without the insane competition of the landlord market.

      Where are you getting the statistic of 2/3 of housing being kept empty for speculation? A quick look outside tells me that is utter bullshit.
