Nobody is going to be willing to fork over the building maintenance fees (which will continue to increase over the years) after their mortgages are paid off.
It is a cultural thing. Some countries have private ownership of apartment buildings to be very common. One way is a LLC where stock grants rights to single apartment. Then LLC charges monthly fee. Or even loans for larger renovations/maintenance to owners.

That is literally "corporations buying residential housing."
It may be different than the ones in this story, but that's where the challenge in the law will be - how do you forbid/discourage one type of corporate ownership vs another type?
