This is a Lemmy comment section. Actual legislation could surely provide a good middle ground. Rental units offer valuable resource to a very specific minority of people, so they shouldn’t necessarily disappear. But in my region, 42% of people rent a home. There is no reason for nearly half of the population to be living in a temporary residence. Everyone I know who rents has lived within the same 10 mile radius their entire adult lives.
