Many of the times I’ve heard this sentiment, it’s been to either ban Mom&Pop landlords, or ban rental houses completely. These options seem to benefit potential homeowners by screwing over renters. I’m not sure if you mean something different?
“apartments built by thr public or coops” is right there. Don’t look at a package proposal and treat each part of it as unrelated or judge it in a vacuum.
I am fully supportive of public housing and coops, but that doesn’t explain how a “limit 1 house per family” rule would work or what it’s intending to achieve. If you or @Sunshine@lemmy.ca want to expand on that you can even explain it in the context of a whole system, I’m happy to hear it. I am a policy wonk and just want to understand this proposal.
Can you explain what you mean by

You’re probably just going to get flamed here. Most political people (and activists for that matter) are not policy wonks.
They’re probably thinking a ban on landlords, as currently legally defined, basically.
