Actually, building plots that are developed but not sold and built on should be taxed higher. We have building areas from the 80s/90s here where plots simply cannot be bought. If the grandson wants to move back from the big city to the village, he has to choose between 3 plots. The municipality has little leverage.
Yes. And if the neighbor doesn’t drive his second car for 6 months, it should actually be confiscated and given to a poor family. Basically, every family with more than 2 cars should have at least one taken away.
Then we come to the still existing 5,000m² plots in prime locations. Two-thirds of those should be expropriated and distributed among the poor.
And inheritances should anyway be confiscated up to 90%. That is unearned income for the survivors.
By what right do you want to take something away from people who were clever enough at the right time to buy something? In the 90s, there was a huge real estate depression, prices no longer wanted to rise. Municipalities were glad about anyone who bought a plot. And now you want to punish them?
PS: Digger, you are fair-weather capitalists. As long as things go well, “EVERYTHING to me!!”. But when it gets tight... “Please socialism, the rich should pay!!”...
