Love it but gotta disagree. More people, less housing per person and we’ve commodified housing where people own multiple homes which drives up prices.

And who is at fault for less housing per person? Mostly NIMBYs and existing owners who push legislators to limit construction.

Correct, but at the end of the day it's the elected representatives that pass the laws. If they're passing laws based on a small % of the vocal minority then they're bad at their job.

And in regards to the meme, I think the house actually is worth less if we were to pass a law that taxed second properties at 100%. There would be a flood of homes for sale and within a year when the dust settled we'd see the "actual" value of homes.
