This is why we need a multiple homes speculation tax. First-time homebuyers will continue to be priced out of the housing market until we drive speculators out of the market. Homes should be for people, not speculators. #onpoli

@MikeSchreiner This, along with a substantial vacant home tax. I walk thru my "desirable" neighbourhood and there are all sorts of empty houses that have been so for years. Why?
@bellgirl67 @MikeSchreiner A hefty vacant homes tax plus a hefty vacant *lot* tax. Land speculators buy up vacant properties without ever building on them despite zoning approvals. They're a fire, public health and safety risk—overgrown weedy lots, litter, coyotes move in, like long-vacant lots in #HamOnt.
