      I’m sorry, do you think that taxes on unoccupied homes… make homes… more expensive, overall?

      You increase supply, which correspondingly lowers prices, by punishing homes that are mostly vacant, most of the time.

      Oh and also the revenue from said tax can go toward things like making housing less expensive for the very poor, poor, and middle income folks.

            And you seem to be taking this conversation way too seriously. I aint gonna move to NY cuz I made a comment on a website. Yes, you are avidly aware of NYs issues but I wasn’t advocating for everyone to move there, I was just saying my town is small.

              What you are doing is saying stupid shit and then not enjoying your stupid shit being called out as such.

              You’ve likely exhausted your dating pool in your small town because you are an unlikeable asshole who just writes checks with his mouth that he can’t actually cash.
