Lol. Your vaunted local representatives are superseded on everything from their airspace (FAA) to their property tax rate (California Prop 13). This isn’t some unprecedented infringement of local control.

Lol there is a precedent for the regulations in place that you are after to be handled locally. Lets just take all the things and federalize it until I get my way.

Perhaps you could clarify about what "take power away from those who own housing means". Does it mean, own a house, lose the right to vote?
