They won’t. This means that there will be properties eventually owned by a local taxing authority.
What people don’t get is that you need some houses to sit empty. This allows people to find a place when they move. This allows people to move around within a territory.
Also not all secondary houses are bad. I want to buy a plot of land for a small farm and a place to go in case of hurricanes. Presently there is no house. Should I be taxed for improving land for personal ways that didn’t remove housing?
Many of the comments so far are emotional. We need to do better when making policies.
