Having to sell to whom though. Blackstone or another private equity firm who buy on massive amounts of credit then jack up rents via monopoly pricing?

Allow one primary house, and a second one, tax the rest to fucking oblivion if not sold within a reasonable time frame

Why should someone be allowed a 2nd home without penalty in a country with housing scarcity?
I’d say at least a 50% value tax on that as unnecessary consumption

Because it’s not unreasonable to have a primary home and maybe a vacation home, or a family home, or a rental. More than that is absurd.
The scarcity would decrease pretty fast, coupled with a situation where private companies can’t own houses and apartments, that would pretty much solve it

I wish I owned my home but unfortunately, I don’t have rich parents :(
