Tax wealth, not income. Pretty simple. (Not in NL) I live on a street that is entirely owned by one family. All the houses.
There are places in the city centre that have been empty since forever because they’re investments. It literally doesn’t matter whether rent is paid because they’re still making money just by banks allowing people to buy and sell shares of the building. The perceived value is more important than somebody living in it.
Things like that should be taxed so much that they are forced to sell. For example every month the place is empty or not rented, the tax rate doubles. If the place is declared as a third+ home, it should also be considered unrented.
