Re:Vancouver plans to tax empty properties 1% of their asses... by snrplfth on Thursday November 10, 2016 @07:00PM (#12925964)
I understand the response, certainly. But I don't think it's going to make housing (rental or ownership) substantially more available or cheaper in Vancouver - it'll just shuffle a few people around. And rich people don't just evaporate because you limit housing supply; they can arbitrage their way around most of these limits pretty easily.
