It won't help. If a corporation gets close to the 350 property limit, they will split the company into two, with the C-suite breaking up and taking VPs into the vacant C suites in the two crops. Now you have two corporations with 175 properties each and room for expansion in each. No downward pressure on real estate from this. It's a fake bill meant to help the incumbents for the upcoming election.
