I think most people would be fine with people owning one vacation home or cabin but would find more than that excessive. An alternative would be looking at local housing demand and taxing according to local need of housing, but that would be pretty messy and prone to loopholes and corruption.
- steve_gh 5y agoThere are areas of the UK where local property taxes and other financial incentives (some form of zoning I think) to reduce the number of holiday homes. The problem is that local people are being priced out of the areas by holiday homes. And in rural areas that impacts the viability of schools (lower pupil numbers so higher costs per pupil), public transport, even local grocery store viability (less trade out of season, no workers).
