Usually some twisted form of democratic republican socialism lawl.
They are or where absolute models of our government in many cases. What happens there though is the Federal becomes so corrupt Usually another corrupt group easily overthrows them with a coup backed by third parties and drug money, then they do that every few years until complete anarchy. Then there's some kind of communist revolution which eventually collapses when there's no more foreign money. Then back to a very localised form of governments where the cities are well governed, the rural population essentially ungoverned or treated as non citizens. And left essentially in the wind for international interests to step in and try to develop via the cities and ports creating refugees and or guerillas. It's all very comical if you're in a heartless mood. Honestly I feel like that's just the default defacto state of humanity without some kind of religion state or otherwise driving cultural values of responsibility and discipline.

I know nothing about real estate, and this is just off the top of my head. But just like you need a real estate license to buy or sell other people's properties, make a different license you need to apply for in order to buy and sell properties on a large scale. And limit the total number of these licenses allowed per year based on the number of homes constructed, or something like that
Without this license, you are limited to buying an arbitrary number of properties, say something like 5
Why couldn't something like this happen?

The problem is that owning realilstate is well, the american dream.
Culturally this country is, weather we want to admit it or not, a culture of ownership. It has built a great nation.
But we've changed a lot, we dont believe in anything, we're all nihilistis, and we dont think there is a future.
We've built a global market where shadows can buy anything and created a society where selling everything you have is the best you can be.
I like what patriam said or basically, anything like making owning a second home pointless beyond saving you time looking for a rental would help.
Owning 2 houses should at best be like keeping your money in the mattress. A pathetic laughed at thing to do if you're trying to "save your money".
The money should be invested into bonds to make the country a better place instead.
