What's at stake: The debate pits the fight against the concentration of housing against small landlords' role in the rental supply.
The left's argument
Concentrating homes in a few hands worsens inequality: they should be taxed more.
The centre's argument
Tax very large portfolios more, not small landlords who rent out a home or two.
The right's argument
Small investors rent out the homes we're short of. Taxing them would reduce supply.
