>The whole model of housing is broken in most countries,including the US. Broken? Well, as with many things, the problem is that there is a model to start with. No civilized society in my view should have income or property tax. (for the record there are no civilized societies by that definition). In a country with plenty of land, land zoning/restriction should be the bare minimum. The collective human enterprise is messed up beyond belief.
