It would work better if people were forbidden from living in homes they also owned, or at least taxed extra for doing so.

Could you, please, give more details. This seems very unintuitive, to me.

In Switzerland they tax imputed rent. If you buy a house and live in it, you are paying extra taxes for the privilege. For strongly related reasons the rate of living in a home you also own is only about 35% in that country.
