How long are conservatives going to "libertarian" the American dream away? How long are progressives going to buy into Marxist propaganda while the country devolves into the rich and the poor? People need to own homes. It's what sustains the middle class. This is such an easy fix: Businesses can't buy homes from individuals until they've been on the market for 60 days.

That doesn't sound enforceable to me.  I like where your heart is at but the solution will be far from easy.
The other problem we have is the poorer and younger people who don't yet own homes and would like to aren't as numerous and are less likely to vote than the people who own homes.  People who own homes won't support anything designed to keep a lid on home prices. Policies that are sold as punishing landlords and keeping a lid on rent have a better chance of success at the ballot box.
