minus-square@FrowingFosteklink8•2 months agoThis is why I like the idea of a crushingly punitive vacancy tax. In my opinion maximum occupancy should be the goal in a city. If no one lives in an empty space the tax increases exponentially. Of course, this would never happen but, I can dream.
minus-square@TheDoozerlink5•2 months agoThis and huge taxes on AirBnBs. I live on an island that is a regular tourist spot, and housing is so scarce there are people who work full time living in tents in the woods because they can’t find a place to live. In Alaska. And there are still a bunch of AirBnBs here.
