Seems like a fairly straight forward application of the law against the landlords. Are you implying those landlords should not be bound by the law?


As if all laws were just...


You seem to imply this one isn’t. What could be more just than solving a housing problem by giving housing to those who need it, and taking it from those who are hoarding it?


If you can do that without stealing from others, I'll support you


You literally have housing units sitting and collecting dust and people needing housing. The owners get plenty of notice to rent it out. If not, they are compensated and the property seized.

No theft is involved here at all.
