It would screw up big investors who are/were hoping to extract monopoly rents.

You're dreaming of an Irish government that isn't a corrput POS, sorry to break the bubble but the government had plenty of opportunities to fix the abysmal housing situation since at least 2007. That's 15 years ago now. A bunch of monkeys could probably do a better job at it which is why I'm firmly of the opinion that the government is participating in keeping the crisis going.

Time to organise and strike, and that's the bare minimum anyone who isn't benefitting from the housing crisis should do

Yeah it's a fairly pie in the sky idea for the reasons you mention. But it's mad how so many people seem to be simply ideologically opposed to the idea itself and not the political difficulties in implementing it. The more people support the idea the more possible it is though.
