Could a vacancy tax solve Australia's housing crisis? Canada might have the answer
www.abc.net.au
In 2018, Canada's British Columbia introduced a tax against vacant homes. Three years later, more than 20,000 rentals were back on the market.

My first instinct is “yes” but then I thought about it and I think it’s just going to exacerbate the short-stay problem unless combined with other measures.

    I mean like do you have an alternative to taxes? The whole point of this is you’d pay less after the switch.

      Honestly, I’ve been on this rock long enough to know a new tax goes on the the rest don’t come off.
