Additionally, California just adopted statewide rent control, and places like Sh*t Francisco are adopting ordinances that force property owners to rent their properties.

That's very interesting. I'd like to read about that. Got a link?

San Francisco forcing rental of vacant property (also being pushed in Oakland and perhaps other California socialist communes):

Going to do it in L.A. too:

As far as I’m concerned it is unconstitutional. Under 5th and 14th amendment inverse condemnation law, the government cannot force you to share your property with others.

And by analogy, the Third Amendment prohibits the government from forcing property owners to quarter soldiers.
