> Another way to make rent more affordable is to raise the tax rate on income generated from residential rentals to the point that people are not buying up all of the housing stock for the sake of investment alone.

Wouldn’t that just mean there would less rental opportunities because people wouldn’t rent out properties due to the increased tax burden?

Not really seeing how such a plan would work out since it would increase rents across the board from lack of supply and the higher taxes being passed along to renters.
