Stealing living space

Another example of zero-sum bias: arguing that governments of cities facing a significant homelessness problem ought to legislate maximum square footage of houses/apartments sold and rented out on the market because that would "free up" living space for less affluent people.

I've only heard this argument in personal conversations; I don't know if it's present in the media. I'd be surprised if it weren't though.
