    don’t see how regulating this would be in line with conservative principles at all

    Then you don’t understand conservatives well.

    Libertarians are all about the free market. Conservatives are about a fair market with light regulations. Also the family is a core concept of conservatism. People owning homes is good for the family. It’s a solid way to build generational wealth.

      I would say that it aligns with a broad view of conservatives but not so much the conservative tradition in America, which has historically been fairly libertarian in their approach to the market. Regardless your reply makes sense, so I appreciate it. Sounds like one of those rare items of alignment between our political factions!

        Most conservative I know and many are extreme far right don’t support PE buying sfh homes. This seems to be a topic that most people agree on. The American dream is owning a home, among other things but a core concept is home ownership. PE steals that dream from many Americans.

            Now you hold onto your biscuits, mister. Are you suggesting that basic human necessities, things that some might consider human rights, shouldn’t be turned into commodities?
