But there still isn't enough houses. I don't see what difference banning corporate ownership does. The issue is supply of housing and demand being proped up by immigration.

Banning corporate ownership doesn't fix supply or demand.

If I move to another city and want to rent a house for a year what do I do then if corporate ownership is banned? Rent a second house of someone? It's just going to change who is renting.
