    This 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.

      This 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.

        AirBNB/short term rentals shouldn’t exist. It’s a hotel if the owner isn’t living on site. Hotels are subject to taxes, regulations, and zoning laws.
