I've seen an uptick of reporting on 'vacant homes' like the journalists are hinting at a confiscation of private property to house homeless people or something. This isn't Stalinist USSR - you can't seize peoples farms or property for collective use. Being a dreg on society does not entitle you to others earthly possessions. I disagree with an empty home tax as well - property taxes are already being paid. Ban foreign investors from buying homes/property, ban corporations from hording property, encourage housing development and curb commercial/retail expansion.
