No, not even a little bit. What if grandpa is poor as fuck, bought that house forever ago, and intends to die in it? You want to make him homeless because he can't pay taxes? I'm not on with collateral damage, the taxes can be made up elsewhere, like places where economic activity is taking place.
If grandpa sells the 20K house hes living in for 2M, feel free to tax him for 2M and make him homeless, that's his own stupid ass fault.
