Doesn't really matter what country the owner is from. What matters is that the country that contains the houses allows houses to be bought and sold purely for investment. Focusing on who is buying and selling them is barking up the wrong tree. If it wasn't them it would be someone else, because it's the system that's the problem. Go be racist somewhere else. Or just don't be racist at all.

You’re half right. It shouldn’t be allowed to happen at all. Personally I think, one person, one house—that’s it. Corporations can’t own SFH. Taxed on empty units, taxed on high rates.

yup tax on empty units in general would help a lot including rent prices, if you want to not pay the extra tax, better lower your rent to a point people can afford. So the tax needs to be high enough for this decision to be made.

What's a family to do?

I'm guessing they mean maximum one person one house, so a person can't own two houses but many people can choose to live in one house.
