Politicians and interest groups from across the ideological spectrum are pushing for changes to boost housing construction in areas where people want to live.
A landlord who just buys a property and rents it out is doing nothing for the housing supply but obviously a developer that buys a house and turns it into an apartment building is increasing the housing supply regardless of whether they rent the apartments or sell them or whatever.
