I own my house outright. I own a vacant block of land outright. Soon there will be a house on that block of land, which I am on track to own outright within five years.

I support housing reforms and don't think they should grandfather anything in. Landlord should not be a protected class and housing should not be an investment.

I know what it's like to be incredibly poor and the class mobility that let me go from growing up in poverty to relative wealth no longer exists. It needs to be fixed.
