> Something that billionaires can afford, but only for their personal homes - and something that will basically force all landlords to sell immediately. Not possible, because if its a tax an unused homes or rentals, what it would force people to do is either: (1) make it qualify as “used”, or, (2) destroy the residential structure on the land to preserve the value of the underlying land, which would no longer have an unused home or rental on it. (Of course, you’ll never get the Constitutional amendment needed to carve out a new exception to both the prohibition on unapportioned direct taxes and the takings clause of the 5th Amendment that you’d need for that, so its moot anyway.)
