  • Most people aren’t homeless because there is no house available

    It’s amazing how I can add the word “affordable” to your statement and you’re suddenly wrong.

    You see this as wanting to tax second homes while ignoring that tons of people are homeless because they can’t afford to live somewhere because of shitheads holding onto empty housing as an investment at the expense of the common person.

    So yeah, let’s tax any house left unoccupied for more than half the year. If you can afford to have 2 houses, you can afford to pay more for the one you don’t live in so maybe we can free up some of them and lower the cost of housing.

    Idk about other people, but this is actually harder than you’d think. I’ve got zigbee and zwave hubs in my house for my home automation system, but there’s really not anything that uses those technologies and has the screwy power plug my washer has. I grabbed some inducement sensors (I think that’s what they’re called), but I can’t use them near my washer since they have to be hooked to the line to have a reference and my washer is too far away from my fuse box.
