Taxing unoccupied properties could help to ensure existing properties were actually used and not just held empty by speculators.
But yeah, the main solution is building stuff - I think we need to build residential skyscrapers in the West like they have in Eastern cities, otherwise the urban population densities we are arriving to are unaffordable for most citizens.

This won't work, as investors can hire people to live in the property and it will make it more expensive as a result, as someone will have to pay for that extra admin.
- mariusor 6y agoI'm sure that getting payed by people for living in the property, would be better than having to pay people to live there, but I'm no economist.
