    Just pass a law taxing the shit out of single family homes used for income and a bigger tax on empty houses. Use the revenue to help people who go upside down on their mortgages due their primary residence due to the crash in housing prices.

      Just pass a law taxing the shit out of single family homes used for income and a bigger tax on empty houses.

      A simple reform in theory, but incredibly difficult to pass through a legislature that’s stuffed to the brim with real estate lobbyists and their clients.
