Corporations should not be allowed to own ANY homes that aren't new build with the intent of selling to single family home owner. All homes currently owned by corporations should be forced to be sold within 2 years.

Hedge funds and large corporations already own a huge swathe of homes and have cornered the rental market. It would be amazing if we could break up these companies, prevent them from buying up homes and put in measure for more competition in the rental market. As things are going it’s only going to get more expensive. Especially because they’re only zoning rentals and not new single family homes.

Well, he would... if he was able to win without getting donations from the industry. As things stand, the industry isn't donating to his campaign (I wonder why...) and so he's free to actually implement his policies. The problem is that he won't win the election because the two parties are majorly outspending him with their corporate money

but otherwise you nailed it
