there are at least 3 empty homes in my estate. probably more that I havnt noticed. 4 bedroom homes just sitting doing nothing. Driving up prices for first home owners trying to break into the market. Creating scarcity in the rental market driving up prices for renters. Anyway you slice it thats just wrong. if you want it to sit there empty as the owner thats fine, its your property, but we should be taxing you out the asshole and investing that money in flooding the market with more homes.
