Especially when those 2nd, 3rd, + properties are being used as passive short term rentals. Observing the state of the housing situation "Hmm there aren't enough homes for normal families to each have a chance, I should turn this extra property of mine into a vacation rental." does this make said person a POS?

Ah yes, your family legacy of a house no one lives in is more important than a human beings ability to have shelter

Perfect is the enemy of good. You're not at home while you're working and if you do full time then a third of the day you're not using your home, why don't you let others use your home while you're not using it? You're also putting your individual needs above giving someone else shelter, the only difference is where you've drawn the line.

Right, so tell me what is the course of action?

Don't own more than one house. Why is that so hard for you people to understand

This is why nobody listens to people like you. Someone has a legitimate grievance trying to do what you want them to do and what is your response? Completely ignore the grievance and go "I can't believe how fucking stupid you are, just do the thing." Really helpful.

The desire to hoard unused property when other people are struggling to find a roof to live under is not "legitimate." In fact, it is an entirely illegitimate and selfish grievance.

The desire to not let people live in your place while you're at work is in fact entirely illegitimate and selfish.
