I understand what Mr. Stanley is saying but the question is whether he fears that such a debate will worsen the situation when it comes to landlords leaving the market due to the fear that this balancing will negatively affect them as landlords. When a landlord leaves the market, it takes another property out of circulation, which can worsen the housing crisis, so it is a circular effect. Could Professor O'Cinneide jump in here? Is there any evidence of such an occurrence elsewhere where this debate has occurred?
