What is the plan to avoid this just ending up as a bargain for the speculators that routinely up new properties to rent/resell at a markup? Is there something in the legislation to counter predatory practices?

Housing is financialized because it’s a scarce commodity. Removing scarcity removes financialization.

An abundance of housing improves options and lowers rents.
