“To address high beef prices we should make it illegal for chain restaurants to sell hamburgers, food is for people not corporations.”

How do you protect against predatory capital that prioritizes ruthlessly extracting “value” with little or no regard to our shared humanity/ community values? No, it’s not all corps, but some of these funds seek to squeeze every last penny from the poorest members of society.

You are throwing open Pandora's Box on the American housing market and using logic like it's any other issue. Americans don't trust federal or local govt to stand up or reign in PE in a scenario of massive expansion. Why don't you get that?
I am a small-time landlord and while this provision would be good for me personally, it is so negative sum that I sincerely hope it does not pass and also does not derail the bill. Large landlords provide what we need—more housing!
