Just build more housing, the whole "let's make rules to avoid the easy and obvious solution" trend annoys me.

Just build more housing, the whole "let's make rules to avoid the easy and obvious solution" trend annoys me.
- standardUser 9mo agoUtilizing vacant properties is easier and cheaper than building new ones, by a massive margin. We should do both, but ignoring perfectly good homes in desirable locations being used by nobody is silly.
- thekyle 9mo agoIf the goal is to reduce the number of vacant homes, then why not create a tax on those specifically. Corporate owned homes and vacant homes are not the same thing at all.
- standardUser 9mo agoIf a home isn't the sole primary residence of a person, it's essentially "vacant" and should be taxed, imho.
- Glyptodon 9mo agoI mean converting vacant is fine, to me it's the same category basically - increasing housing supply.
