Triple property taxes for units not occupied by owners. Quick fix.

how does that not just increase rent?

Property taxes of 100% for units not occupied by owners. Income taxes on rental of 110%.

Problem solved.

I don't think you have put any thought in to this. How would that solve anything exactly? If you taxed rental income at 110% then nobody would ever be a landlord, and all existing landlords would evict their tenants immediately, leaving millions homeless. Do you just want a system where you can only live in owned properties and renting is forbidden?

Note also that I want to tax all non-resident properties at 100%. There'd be a lot of homes to go into.
