> You see this in inheritance taxes. The tax may be reasonable but may also lead to the forced selling of family homes if sufficient disposable assets aren't available. This is a benefit, not a drawback. If the million dollar house is just sitting there, unmaintained, and occupying a large plot of land, it's most certainly being underused. Nor are the inheritors entitled to live in the family house in perpetuity. Society may well find a better use for this house, and inheritors will almost certainly be better off with smaller houses that they can afford.
