"If you cant afford the tax, you should move out and sell/rent out"
This makes zero sense to me. Someone bought the property 50 years ago and now is the sole owner, but it is reasonable to force them off their property / out of their home? I get it, other people are willing to pay more for it, but it is the owner's property.
