i see no problem with laws like if a house is zoned for residence, you gotta actually live there. also i think p much all houses should be zoned residence.

You're loving joking, right? My brother makes a reliable living computer touching for a healthcare company in an incredibly depressed part of Pennsylvania, and just bought a very nice house in a lovely place for $70k on an annual income of $90k. I live in Pittsburgh and pretty much do whatever the gently caress I want to do on an annual income of $120k, which is what my house cost too. Computer touching won't make you rich in most of the country, but it is absolutely lucrative.

in this case "your home" is a property you don't live in, and no one else does, because it's a way of moving your wealth out of the country or an investment strategy the people living in the city in which you've purchased your property are infringing your right to ownership by insisting that someone actually live there, but they wouldn't if landlords could raise rents on a whim, because then it would be a better investment for absentee property owners to find some sucker to pay whatever they ask to live there rent control means it's a better to leave the property empty and bank on the increasing value than to have it occupied and be limited by rental regulations
