Reducing the number of available rental units this way would increase the amount of dwellings available to purchase (and reduce prices). Do you think rental is the only way one can have a dwelling?

That's rich coming from someone who thinks that owning should be the only way to have a dwelling.

No, I don't think that renting is the only way to have a dwelling.

However, I do think that renting is a better option than owning for many people.

Moreover, I don't think that telling people how they should and shouldn't have dwellings is good.
