Fuck that. You don't get to tell me what property I can own or what I can do with it.
I don't want my tenants to be my neighbors so I never have privacy and I travel for work, and am frequently out of town for 100 nights a year. I'm providing you a rental, not maintaining the property personally. You can call me and I'll send a plumber.

Personally disagree.
There are levels of homeless, with caverns between. Living rent free in a tricked out camper van beats a $2400/mo goyshack any day of the week if you ask me. Unironically safer in some areas, too.
Strictly speaking, not having a home doesn't mean just not owning a shelter, it means not owning a *place* which the shelter occupies.
No physical slice of geography to call your own. As such, someone sleeping behind a dumpster in an alleyway, in their van in a Walmart parking lot, or in a secretly built cabin out in the woods on public land, are all equally under the banner of homeless.
Meanwhile the guy living in an uprooted manufactured home on a piece of undeveloped land in the middle of nowhere, and the one living in a six bedroom McMansion in the suburbs, are equally homeowners.
In both cases, the quality of life varies greatly, to the point where even the inferior category can supercede its inherent better.
My definition of homeless does not include people who live in cars or campers, I am referring to literal homeless people, th' majority of whom probably do not have a camper.
Someone at conspiracies forum mentioned that the government wants to outlaw homelessness and they depict homeless people as vagrants to get laws passed against it. Yet in the future there will be a tough time that many people will be homeless (look at the price of real estate now) and if homelessness is outlawed then most people will be technically violating the law and the government will have power to arrest you.
I can rough it if i have to but i like modern luxuries.

If even a million get deported in 4 years I'll be surprised. They'll probably pump up the numbers and count those who cross the border, immediately get apprehended and sent back, as deportations.
That's what they did under Obama. They claimed he had deported the most people, even though they changed the definition of "deport" under the government statistics to include those turned away at the border.

You'd better deport the homeowners because when demand falls and your house can no longer cover collateral on your credit line, there's going to be a lot of angry people.
Or the ones locked into a $300,000 mortgage for a house that's now worth $100,000.
Housing prices are a hilarious thing for politicians to publicly bicker over, because either way they go, whoever is in power will take credit and whoever is not in power will blame. No consistency whatsoever.
If housing prices go up, it's "nobody can afford a home!" If housing prices go down, it's "property values are plummeting!". And the inverse claim for whoever is in power and wants you to think it's good.
There is no winning. Personally, high property values are gay. You may not be able to make money off of your primary residence, but rentals will still be profitable (just not via equity). You may end up underwater, but that just means you can't sell until you're paid up. Not a huge deal.
Asshole landlords are so much less of a problem when they have to personally live with their consequences right on their doorstep.

Your suggestion is absurd.
Keep paying me rent, faggot.
Sure, it is better than being homeless, bit still.
