1 year agoThere can be some good reasons to own multiple homes, so rather than banning it you tax it. That way people can still do it and the city gets more funding for allowing it. Those that can’t do the tax will sell down.
That was back when labor was biological. The only form of automation was animal labor. Now machines can do so much without any human labor at all. Taxing income only gets worse since these machines don’t have an income. Some companies can run without any human interaction at all, just a company self inflating it’s value. I’ll only get worse with AI and robotics. We need a way to keep these companies from just consuming all resources and paying nothing back.
