#EmptyHomes are a huge problem in many parts of the so-called civilised world.
#Investors would enjoy the #speculativeGains (aka #capitalGains) in the #property they own, this using the #house or #apartment as an #atm machine , a #financialInstrument, rather than a #home.
A #landTax based on the #rentalValue of #land will help to remove this #perverseIncentive.
Say no to #homelessness and #environmental harm - its time for a #HenryGeorge Land Tax now!
A geniune left will always question irresponsible #immigration levels because they know it causes #wageSuppression and only serves the top 1%.
That's why you will always see the #BusinessRoundtable (The [Seedy] #BusinessCouncil and #PropertyCouncil in #Australia) relentlessly resisting sensible #immigration levels and releasing constant #propaganda daily in #Murdoch rags.
They don't do it to be warm and fuzzy - its about #workerExploitation, #moreCustomers, #higherRents and #speculativeGains.
