Very surprisingly progressive opinions from Trump.
I do completely agree though, the consumer surplus of housing should be captured by people. Not investors looking to profit.
It's extremely toxic to society when investors get to eat the utility of housing.

This is not surprising at all. I'm not sure why people keep making this mistake thinking that good 'ol Republicans are flipping their script all of a sudden. MAGA is a populist movement and has a lot in common with the far left types.

Trump does not possess many "locked-in" opinions. He can be persuaded to support anything if you are charismatic enough.

Individual owners drive far more NIMBY policy than corporations. The rent of land exclusivity should accrue to the public rather than to private individuals or corporations.
