Let’s play a game. Does it: A) Pave the way for funding new construction (stocks in construction go brrr), B) Restrict who can buy houses (it’s not like corpos already bought them!), C) Reduces the reviewing process for acquiring houses (because surely that can’t be abused by anyone wink wink), Or D) Doesn’t allow other corporations to use the same exploits as before (because kicking the ladder for everyone still counts as equality) That’s right! The correct answer is actually all of those!
