I support this ban. If a corp wants a home, let them finance a residence of their funded construction. Reducing the availability of single-famly homes by corporate greed is stupid when home ownership is as strained as it is now. I owned a home in San Francisco from new purchase in 1978 and moved out of it in 1992, by which time I owned the deed, but held it as a rental until a year ago, when I sold to the renter who lived in it for a few years before he wanted to buy it. I sold it for 18x my purchase price. But it never occurred to me that contributing to the housing market was such a necessary thing.

18x? From statistics I see, homes went up in price about 10x. But 18x return of investment is great tho. trump needs to limit rich people from their increasing share of home ownership. the percentage of Americans who own homes are reducing, while number of homes owned by top 10% of society are rising rapidly. the rich create artificial inflation by buying a lot of market, causing shortages.

Trump thinks by raising the cost of homes he will be limiting immigrants from being able to afford them. His actions are just a warning of things to come as he makes home affordability even harder.

I will grant that occurs, and because it is mostly successful [ok, wealthy] contractors who build homes - and who else could? - that's no reason to reduce either their numbers or the wealth, else we result in severely reducing the market, or in making the market recklessly by less skilled contractors.

Canada has a ban on foreign corporations from buying residential property in Canada.

I think corporations and foreigners should be banned from owning single family homes. And individuals should be taxed progressively till it dont make sense to hoard

Trump is going a step further by wanting to annex Canada and Greenland. The law has to catch up with his greed.
