We could solve it without having to build high-density shithole apartments by making it illegal to own more than 10 for-profit properties in Massachusetts

High density isn’t “shithole.” High density is highly desirable. Sprawling McMansions in car-dependent strip-mall suburbs are often the real shitholes.

Ok but that's the other end of the spectrum. What I'm saying is there is so much fucking housing but it's all owned by billionaire real estate trusts.

I don’t think there’s much housing in New England. Certainly not enough has been built to handle population growth in MA; eastern Mass has added over a million residents in the past 20 years but almost no new housing in that same time period.
