Should people own that space then if it's just going wasted? Perhaps instead of owning a 4000 SQ ft home where they only use half and refuse to rent the other half, they should sell to someone who will and then go buy a 2000 SQ ft house where they don't have to worry about it.
Ideally we wouldn’t waste anything ever, even space, but that’s not going to happen in a capitalist system where hoarding is rewarded.
