People have all kinds of proposed work arounds, but that's good until it is time to sell or the government decides to crack down and they do now and then. 

The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals.

Some of the finer points that I can see are $25,000 in down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers, 3 million new housing units within the next four years, tax credits for developers who build starter homes, investing $40 million in an innovation fund to tackle the housing crisis, and expanding a tax credit for housing developers who build affordable housing rental units.Forbes also says she wants Congress to crack down on "predatory investors" who buy up rental homes and collude with each other to raise rental prices.Just sharing this because there's obvious impacts on the housing market if this all takes effect.This is basically just a summary of the Forbes article, you can read it in full here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2024/08/16/kamala-... 

However google the relationship of Kendall Sq office space to the poll numbers of Dems who promised to "crack down on drug pricing".

Locals say they would never crack down on these illegal units but ther Oahu government just cracked down on short term vacation rentals, they could do the same on monster houses.

Like in all matters of compliance, I know the state is trying to crack down on a lot of the bad apples in the building industry, especially those long-time holders that did not have a strenous requirements when becoming licensed.
