Your comment only argues it’s bad, which is not the question. The question is if it’s hypocritical.
I agree with you that it’s bad, and also think it’s not hypocritical to e.g. campaign for making owning investment properties illegal while owning an investment property. You are still the bad guy here but it’s not hypocritical to want a world where the bad thing you are doing is is no longer a thing, if for example the person in question thinks it would be unfair for them to miss out on the investment “while everyone else is doing it”.
Your are the bad guy but no, you are not a hypocrite.

Nah. It’s bad. Landowners are parasites. Do and contribute nothing. They are incentives to peddle in mosery.
Housing should not be a commodity. It is a human right.

What does that have to do with my comment? Again, the question is not whether it’s bad. It is, but it’s totally besides the point.

Should you shoot the innocents because everyone else is doing it?
No. You’re either aligned with your values or a hypocrite.

I agree. And I think that not in all of such situations you would be misaligned with your values.
For example you may argue for making cars illegal, while you yourself own a car. You are not being a hypocrite, you are hoping that if cars were illegal, society would become more bike-friendly which is your ultimate goal, enabling you to stop needing a car.
