The real anti homeless infrastructure is cheap or free housing

[-] ReiRose@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Let's consider a tax on vacant homes. If landlords got charged market rent for vacancies the house prices would plummet.

Grace to second homeowners or set-length renovations.

would the tax be based on the number of livable units in the home?

[-] ReiRose@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

In this fantasy, market rate for comparable houses, so that's usually based on sqft, rooms and location. If you're thinking apartments in a complex I would say each apartment is a unit and taxed fair market value. I wasn't thinking about taxing spare rooms, just to avoid taxes on middle class. All of my hair brained ideas target the wealthy.
