Corporations shouldn't be allowed to own residential property in the first place. Make it illegal.

Housing cooperatives are non-profit corporations that own property so that they can provide residential services to the members and owners of that corporation.

You know, I'm actually not 100% sure what the difference between a condominium and a cooperative is, but condos are also corporations.

I agree but then one of two things has to happen.

  1. No one is allowed to own property
  2. Corporations need to stop being classified as people

Guess which one would come first? Be honest.

There are already strong cases to be made that corporations aren't people, especially if you look into how flimsy that argument was in the first place, but I take your point.
