The real issue is the commodification of housing. Houses shouldn't make people money; they are supposed to be homes to live in.

I don't necessarily agree that people can't make any money on a property portfolio, but it should definitely have a set limit to prevent life's essentials from becoming unaffordable. And I wouldn't stop there and continue this with other essentials like healthy consumables and utilities like power/gas/water and entry level broadband internet access.
