    It’s not a stretch to assume that a lot of politicians are in the multiple land ownership territory. And thus, would “hurt” them personally.

    More to the point, it will cost them any support among suburban homeowners, which is how we got here in the first place. That’s a massive bloc of voters and very few homeowners don’t see their homes as an investment

      Yes, the “fuck you, I got mine” is the core American voter demographic, unfortunately.

        Only cause the boomers make up the largest voting block right now and they know no other policy than, “fuck you, I got mine.”

          Sadly prominent in the younger home owner crowd too.
