Does having an AirBNB setup make someone deserving of the guillotine or does that only apply to owners of multiple houses? What about apartments?

Please explain your reasoning as well.

The UK has some of the worst housing issues in Europe, yet the amount of houses (dwellings) per person has slightly increased since 2001

21,210,000÷59,113,0000=0.35 Houses per person in 2001

24,930,000÷67,350,695=0.37 Houses per person in 2021

Yet rents and house prices have absolutely skyrocketed. Supply exceeds demand, it’s just greed, long term empty investment properties and government inaction.
