Introduce more tax for Buy To Let Landlords and Foreign Property Investors

What the petition asks

Homes are for living in, they are not pension pots. Prices are now ridiculous, driven up by greedy investors. Politicians fear losing elections if house prices fall, yet high prices do not even benefit them either.
Bring down house prices now!
Wages not in line with rising house prices. Drastic change is needed.
The entire economy should not be functioning on house prices.
