    You cannot redistribute your way out of a shortage.

    There are more empty buildings than homeless people. There are “investment properties” sitting empty all over.

    The problem is the greed of the parasitic landlord class.

      This is a myth. What “empty building” studies usually cover is buildings that have no usual occupant. That includes things like student houses where the occupants still have a “home address”.
