Especially when those 2nd, 3rd, + properties are being used as passive short term rentals. Observing the state of the housing situation “Hmm there aren’t enough homes for normal families to each have a chance, I should turn this extra property of mine into a vacation rental.” does this make said person a POS?
No
I agree with you that it makes a person a POS, but it’s also necessary in our current system. It would take so much change to fix this.
