If you own two homes, you're definitely pretty rich, pay your taxes.

  You know, you're right. I payed sales tax on my last Amazon purchase, so I don't think I'll be paying my income tax this year. Why pay twice?

    Are you sure you've paid enough taxes on your purchase? May be you need to pay twice, or triple because a) you don't really need this thing b) there are people that need it more than you c) you've bought it online d) you're privileged white male in IT.

      I'll be sure to donate my assorted set of DIP IC sockets to the next homeless person I see. They definitely need it more than me. > you're privileged white male in IT You got me there.

Why? With two parents one child inherits both of their family houses. This is especially true in low natality countries. The heir will not necessarily be rich and with a high salary job.

  So sell or rent out one of the houses. Having a large non-income generating asset that you don't make full use of is a luxury the non-rich can't afford.

    Sometimes at least one of the houses is in some rural area nobody wants to move to so there is basically no market for them. Common in the mountains. Real case: the parents family houses are in the mountains, parents moved to city, children (adult now) live in another city. They'll eventually inherit the 3 houses and they won't use them. The city house can be sold or rented. The other ones, not a chance. If taxes on them would be too high (they aren't now) they could rather destroy those two houses. I don't think this is what we want. There is always the way out of renouncing the heredity. Then you still get an empty house that nobody wants and nobody maintains.

  If you inherited anything, you're pretty rich. Pay your taxes, people are living on the street.
