Background
This ensures mortgages track real workers’ earnings, not bank profit targets. It gives working people a stable, fair path to home ownership and prevents financial exploitation. There is also growing concern that large corporations and investment funds are buying up housing stock, risking a future where ordinary people can no longer afford to own homes. This policy protects citizens and preserves a homeowner society, rather than a corporate-landlord nation.
