    That should also include locked doors.

    It should be illegal to hoard space in McMansions for luxuries such as a home gym/home theatre/separate dining room and breakfast nook/3-car garage while the Unhoused scramble for shelter.

      I agree that massive mansions are wasteful and stupid but uh, I don’t think anyone would agree that we should ban locking our doors

      Agreed - ideally we’d cut right to the source of the problem and ban investment ownership of housing, or at least put a massive progressive tax on owning any dwellings that you don’t personally live in. Then use that tax to fund public/social housing developments (like Vienna?)
