We need to talk about HOLIDAY HOMES
If you already own a home, should you be allowed to buy a spare one?
The Dutch don't think so
New laws require buyers to obtain permits to buy a 2nd home, while existing owners will be given 1 year amnesty

If you cannot make your own choices for your body, the name you go by, or even the very clothes that you wear, then you are not, in any sense, meaningfully free.
