We should dramatically increase taxes on:
1. Homes that are vacant for more than 6 months out of the year
2. Homes that are short-term rentals for more than 6 months out of the year
Incentivize owners to either get long-term tenants in, or sell.
AirBnB is making things much worse. Landlords have discovered that turning a house into a short-term rental property is more lucrative than having a long-term tenant. That's horrible for the long-term rental market when everyone does that.
We don't need to make it illegal. Just tax the shit out of it and disincentivize it.
