> "We don't have to build enough homes for people if we just force the poorest people to leave the state"

That’s literally what every other state with property taxes assessed on the current value of the home are doing. It’s why retirees move out of their larger homes when they no longer have children occupying the other bed rooms. It’s why you have actual turnover of housing to (generally younger) people that not only want to live there, but are gainfully employed and can afford to do so.

It’s not some evil scheme to evict granny. It’s efficient allocation of a finite resource.

It's a financially sensible, totally rational scheme to evict granny.

Why not just build more homes so she can live close to family?

Build where exactly when the entire neighborhood is already built out (probably double so with the ADU rule)?

Or should we tear down some grannies houses to build multi floor apartment buildings?
