minus-squareUnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·edit-215 days ago you’re just missing the point purposely or trying to strawman and move goalposts Reads like a Ben Shapiro rant. Obviously people can afford these homes Why would states need to implement a vacancy tax on speculative properties if people could afford them? Seems to be an increasingly popular strategy for reducing homelessness. San Francisco could get 90% of its homeless off the streets with the country’s fiercest housing speculation tax, but landlords are already fighting it tooth and nail
minus-squareDisgracefulone@discuss.onlinelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·14 days agoSo the point you kept missing I’ll throw you a bone man. Someone can afford the home you’re in. This “strategy” is only effective if everyone’s on board. Otherwise a new family will be in there on the heels of your feet.
