I would just like to point out that the word "punished" isn't correct here. Being impacted negatively by something does not necessarily make it a punishment. I agree that players who purchased multiple homes did not break any rules (I'll not go into whether or not it was morally/ethically wrong) that SE had in place for housing, largely because SE totally screwed up housing and there were loopholes all over the place.

It's like owning a home with a big, beautiful front lawn for years. Eventually the traffic in front of your house gets worse and worse and finally the city has to do something to relieve the gridlock. So they decide to add another lane, by widening the street and taking part of your front lawn to do it, maybe even chopping down a tree or two. Does it negatively impact the homeowner? Yes. Is the homeowner being punished? No. But the city needs to infringe on their luxury in order to make the lives of the majority of people better.
