The United States federal government should ban corporate acquisition of single-family residences

That's a rather simplistic take, isn't it? While the sentiment is understandable, banning corporate acquisition of single-family residences completely misses the mark and wouldn't solve the underlying housing issues. In fact, large institutional investors own a tiny fraction of single-family homes, around 0.5% nationally[1]. The real problem isn't corporate ownership, but a severe housing supply shortage, with a deficit of 4-5 million units[1]. Restricting who can buy homes won't build more of them.
