Thank goodness, this just prevents them from acquiring additional housing.

Be exceptionally cautious of legislation like this, the housing market is becoming a more and more obvious bubble, companies like BlackRock are going to try to twist every legislation like this into a bailout. They’ll want government to take the houses from them, by buying them all “at market rate”, despite the reality that these firms would never be able to offload all those houses into the market without cratering the market rate.

Definitely somewhat, but not so much “diminished my enjoyment” as “prevents me from doing as a hobby”.

Programmer here, and I find that working on these types of problems just wears out that “part” of my brain. It becomes not fun to force myself to focus on those things as a hobby anymore, despite that being how I got into programming. I don’t resent it though, I actually really enjoy doing it as my job. And shake it up a little, and I’ll hugely enjoy something like programming systems in Factorio, but any ambitions I have of say, making a game, aren’t happening until I retire or change careers.

I missed out on Nicole, pleased to be part of the Illuminati! 🔱
