Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Split the land the house is on to it's own lot and sell it then. Or knock it down/rezone it so it's not legal for living/renting.
You're handing your opponents a talking point against it before you even start.
"omg theres a small subset of America who might be mildly inconvenienced when we ensure housing is affordable for everyone." yep, a hell of a talking point.
Farmers. They're part of the working class, and they're important.
And an individual farmer live in multiple houses? Nope. One of those houses is a viable residence and the rest are typically rented out in my experience. The exact behavior were trying to discourage.
The proposal above doesn't make a distinction between first and second homes, only that a corporation owns it.
So your arguing in support of corporate farms being able to own homes? Not sure why anyone but the corporate farms would care about that.
Pretty much all of them are under a corporate structure, even when it's a single family.
Which is fucked up to begin with. Stop hiding personal assets behind corporate liability protections.
It's not only liability. It's taxes, accounting, or just keeping a clear delineation between the family's assets and the farm's in the event of a sale.
Oh, and while we're at it, this proposal would also forbid multi-family homes coming under a co-op model. That's just another kind of corporate structure.
