I get the joke, but I still feel compelled to point out that the alternative is affordable housing (both with rentals and ownership). If congress has the power to cap Baseball salaries, certainly they have the power to cap housing costs. Now we just need to figure out how to get them to do it.
Make it illegal for anyone other than an individual human to own a house. Make it illegal to own more than three houses. Make it illegal to own houses in more than two states
Alternatively, We The People could start burning down real estate investment companies like our forefathers would have
