In my home country (Australia), there literally is a shortage of homes at the moment. I don't think a vacancy tax would help much, but it's probably a good idea anyway.

  I can't agree with more taxes "just it's because it's a good idea". I pay a lot of money every year in tax, I don't need to pay more.

    Then don't leave your property vacant?

      My financial decisions are nobody else's business. A lot of people here earn a lot in software, and if they want a summer home that is their prerogative. The group think on this is hard.
