who should be allowed to buy a house?(nm) - meatiger MU - 3/18 14:17:51

- 3/19 08:33:54

it's about who should be excluded... like private equity - zounami MU - 3/18 14:19:34

How are those defined - meatiger MU - 3/18 14:22:35

yeah, that should be banned in residential areas (nm) - zounami MU - 3/18 14:26:02

I mean, no one wants commercial BnB's in their neighborhood - zounami MU - 3/18 14:27:28

no one?(nm) - meatiger MU - 3/18 14:28:39

other than the аssholes running them, no (nm) - zounami MU - 3/18 14:29:16

So a person should only be allowed to own one house? - meatiger MU - 3/18 14:27:09

owning multiple houses for residential purposes is fine... - zounami MU - 3/18 14:28:45

yeah, profits are evil (nm) - ashtray UF - 3/18 14:47:19

no, but sometimes regulations are needed (nm) - zounami MU - 3/18 14:53:11

right, because too much profits are evil - ashtray UF - 3/18 14:55:35

That would be up to the legislators writing the bill. (nm) - zounami MU - 3/18 14:32:21

Are you against ride share companies as well?(nm) - meatiger MU - 3/18 14:37:24

no (nm) - zounami MU - 3/18 14:41:22

They hurt taxi drivers - meatiger MU - 3/18 14:44:06

That's competition, and it lowers costs for consumers. (nm) - zounami MU - 3/18 14:46:26

So if I sell my house - meatiger MU - 3/18 14:52:26

What if the legislators decide to not pass the bill?(nm) - meatiger MU - 3/18 14:36:15

Then the problem described in the OP will continue. (nm) - zounami MU - 3/18 14:37:19

so why can you not answer a simple question - meatiger MU - 3/18 14:37:59

It's not about number, it's about the buyer & their intended - zounami MU - 3/18 14:40:51

I think his post leads to conclusion that any number is fine - tman MU - 3/18 14:32:13

So now government should not only tell people - meatiger MU - 3/18 14:35:39

when those "people" are private equity firms, yes... - zounami MU - 3/18 14:39:34

what if they called themselves a RE investment group? - ashtray UF - 3/18 14:48:31

not for single-family residential homes (nm) - zounami MU - 3/18 14:53:31

so only one house per person - ashtray UF - 3/18 14:56:08

He will allow more than one - meatiger MU - 3/18 14:58:07

he's too smart for us (nm) - ashtray UF - 3/18 15:00:45

How does one define a private equity firm? - meatiger MU - 3/18 14:40:30

Those details would be defined in the bill. (nm) - zounami MU - 3/18 14:41:13
