Tell me no firearms are involved at least. I believe the constitution would need to be changed to allow this. Then it would open the government up to being able to force people to sell assets they deem excessive.  Quite a slippery slope there.

Now these resource hogs. We would need to establish a limit to the number of homes one person could have right?  I can see all this working in places like China, Venezuela, Russia, 1930's Germany, yea piece of cake.

Just my opinion...

Your reading comprehension is not great today.
The idea is to make an offer of sale part of every lease of a single family, free standing home. The only person who would be eligible to buy it would be the tenant, and only at the end of the lease term.  No force required.  The tenant would already be there and would already have the keys.  They would just have to take out a mortgage and pay the landlord the full price for the home, if they wanted to exercise the option.

And if the landlord doesn't want to do this? You cannot make this be a requirement to rent or lease. This option has been available for a long time. It was quite popular in the 80's when the interest rates we much higher than now. By the way look back, the word force was your choice. not mine.

"I only said that the landlord should be forced to offer the home for sale at a price"
