    I think it should be a sliding scale.

    Standard property tax on owner occupied home.

    Landlord tax on additional home/unit. (Like vacation home).

    Additional fee for vacant home/unit. Serious one like 20-50% market rate of unit per month vacant. This helps with company owned units and foreign bodies buying up real estate and hoarding it.

    Additional fee/tax per extra unit owned. DISMANTLE REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT FIRMS. This would cause them to sell off homes.

    Use proceeds of these taxes and fees explicitly for rental assistance/home buying programs.
