It would harm a lot of people. But the problem they are trying to solve is foreign investment driving up property prices. The best way to attack his problem is to prevent or discourage foreign investors from buying residential homes.
The good thing is this kind of law can be adjudicated, unlike the tax. Because you can go before a judge/mediator and argue that you use the home as a residence.
