Define having "no use." Lots of things can look like no or poor use. Waiting to retire there for instance. Land preservation. Political statements. Would I sell my grandpa's house? Depends on if I want to move in later, or help my kids move in when they are out of the house in N years. Just because you might abandon a family cabin/estate/ranch/remote-land knowing the price will drop doesn't mean others will. And how long must one inhabit a property per what unit of duration to maintain ownership? 1 month a year? 6+ months a decade? In my case, I'm talking 10 acres off some highway in Montana. I'll sell it if or when it is necessary. I'm working out of state, so I have two homes. You want some real estate? Work your ass off, save money, invest in yourself. Might have to move. Might have to change your lifestyle. I couldn't afford California so I had to leave. Poor people emigrate still and provide better lives for their kids. Not everyone gets to live in their favorite city. Sucks. Sell your iPhone and buy an acre in West Virginia. Look, there are inequities and basic needs can be hard in many areas to secure. That is all of human history. We keep working at it. The solution is not to force me to sell my 10 acres in Montana.
