Why? Because apparently they need some more incentive to keep units occupied. Also, even though a property might be vacant, there’s still imputed rental income there. Its owner is just receiving it in the form of enjoying the unit for himself instead of receiving an actual rent check from a tenant. That imputed rent ought to be taxed like any other income.
Sorry, friend. I find your suggestion implausible. Your post, while perhaps well-meaning in its origin, begins with unnecessary exaggeration and belies an emotional if not outright personal source for the opinion behind it. Your condescension is baked right in.
I don’t know how you arrive at that conclusion, but okay buddy whatever.
Eh. You might’ve come off as educated-yet-a-little-overzealous at first, but now you’re clearly just a whiner with an Econ 101 textbook on loan and a his rusty lunchbox to rattle at the sky.
Keep on truckin’, kid. You’ll figure it out someday.
