So if someone wants to rent a single-family home you want the government to tell them they can't.

I think he was hinting that if there was no rentals then houses would be cheap

Ownership of real estate his heavily subsidized through favorable tax treatment

Interest deduction on single-family residence and depreciation on rental homes.

Actually most of the subsidies were done away with under the Trump tax cuts

You know a lot of people rent because they can't or don't want to buy right?
cracka
4/12/21 11:36am
They cant buy because too few SFHs are on the market for sale due to “investors”

Or they can't buy because they have bad credit, etc.

Some. Many others can’t buy because no one will lend them several hundred

Renting out single-family homes to singles is killing young couples.

By far the best solution. Investment should be in companies, not houses. Greedy
valleus
4/12/21 11:42am
So you have to live in an apartment unless you want to buy a house?
Mems
4/12/21 11:43am
No, but we shouldn’t subsidize owners renting out their SFHs.
valleus
4/12/21 11:45am
So where do they live if homes can't be rented?

They have a need to raise taxes on everybody.

so then the only renting solution would be apartments instead of homes?

Doesn't the tax code already distinguish between primary residences and rentals?

Yes, it does. And while some things, like depreciation, are definite advantages
