Why not stop ownership by companies. Let them build housing and rent or sell it but not purchase housing. That's for people.

There is no economic advantage to companies buying property. Only producing it.

For people we can tax any property number above a certain value amount or certain amount of properties. We want to incentivise building but not incentivise hoarding or renting.
