Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords?

  and I distinctly said that it should be “a right”

  Yes, you did, but you said it as part of an answer to the question “why are landlords considered parasites?”, and you explained that those who own more homes than they can live in are parasites. The logical conclusion (would be that it should be outlawed to be a landlord.

  So, how am I to understand that? Should there be a quota, an acceptable amount of parasites so to speak?

    Heavily tax buying and owning homes as investments. Also heavily tax vacant homes in regions with a housing shortage.

    Basically regulate it so that prospective buyers who are buying a place to live in are significantly advantaged when trying to do so, while at the same time discouraging others from buying up those homes as investments.
