"We have seen corporate landlords—who own a larger share of the rental market than ever before—use inflation as an excuse to hike rents and reap excess profits beyond what should be considered fair and reasonable."
I have known people who have gone through the same thing in the US. I also have family in the US still who very much are impacted by the housing situation there.
This just reeks of “foreigners bad” and possibly racism.
There are many things that can be done other than banning foreigners who haven’t yet achieved greencard status but just want to have a place for themselves and their families to live to still achieve that. I don’t think you’ll find foreigners are the big issue here, and you already mentioned corporations which are a big issue. Attacking foreigners wanting to buy a house is not OK; that’s approaching apartheid-level bullshit.
