Penalty is a cost of doing business.

What a cynical, mean-spirited, counterproductive comment.

You left off “accurate.”

All this is good. But honestly long term thinking needs some kind of decoupling of housing being an investment and bigger taxes on second, third or other houses without having loopholes via company structure etc.

There are so many areas to invest and make money that really add to human good, progess and production.

Buying and renting houses and land so others can pay a 'baron' holds back artistic communities, slows legitimate growth and hampers small businesses. We are seeing the decay of innovation and quality of life in our communities for the financial enrichment of very few - who in real terms also suffer from the lack of diversity, choice and social climate that follows their investments.
