Booking dot com aren't buying homes that families could live in are they? Booking dot com are just facilitating bitch face making money on a human right. Systemic change is required:

  • banning people owning more than 1 or maybe 2 homes
  • taxing property earning at 90%
  • no tax deductions for property costs
  • building more government (fed, state and council) owned social housing
  • short term rentals susceptible to same rules as hotels
  • short term rentals requiring council approval

The game is rigged but we shouldn't give a pussy pass to the players just because they can play. They should be shunned and labelled as traitors to society.
