I can't tell if you're joking.

Why do you think I'm joking? People should be allowed to own something out of town for the weekend if they want but they'll think about it twice if they can't own both a rental unit and their main house in the same city, in the end it will force them to live in their rental unit along with the people renting from them, forcing them to actually care for their property.

They won't want to own a shit load of properties either because maintaining then will be too impractical as none of them are close to one another.

It sounded kinda like: Let's make people sell the properties they rent out so that wealthy people can buy vacation homes.

The idea is guaranteed to make homelessness worse, so it seems natural that someone might mock it.
