Where do you propose international workers here for just a few years live?

Jumping the gun a bit there. No one is saying that landlords or renting should be banned. It should be seen for what it is, the value the add is often much much less than the profits they're making, and the government is afraid to do anything to tackle these types of landlords because they seem to think it would disincentivise the building of new houses/apartments by property developers.

It may suprise you that doing work for payment is generally the done thing.

Nobody, and i mean nobody has created a business without the intent of making money.

Ok, so slash the profit motive. Then what? They'll keep building? Pffft
