The people living in the homes can't afford to buy them.

The landlords are forced to sell or be fined, but they can't find anyone with money to buy the houses.

Yeah, a real "progressive" idea to force people to do what the Big Government wants with their own property.

Your car is too nice--"We, the People" think you need to get rid of it and ride a bike instead.

It's for your Own Good, of course.
