minus-squareLandless2029@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·4 months agoDon’t make it illegal. Make it unprofitable. Increasing taxes per property owned. On 3+ extra taxes and huge fine if not rented for more than 3 months of the year. We have an issue with comapnies and foreigners apparently buying property in cities then leaving them empty. Tax them HARD. Much more likely to pass a plan like that then just making things illegal.
