It's both, you can't fix the problem by only attacking one of the two biggest causes.

Renting a space for people to live in should be a privilege and not a right. We should have a board that limits what your rented space and its amenities can be rented for. I would even go as far as a permit and if you violate it you must sell the property within 90 days or jail time. We shouldn't fuck around with the basic human right to affordable housing.
