How much has the population grown due to immigration?
Well, if some people show cleverness and/or are lucky enough that farmland is converted into building land, I consider state coercive measures to be of little use.
You have to be able to afford an apartment building first. Just like the taxes.
Before I would have to pay taxes on it, I would put up the tiniest, smallest, crummiest, and cheapest building in the world, which can be easily torn down in case of a sale. No penalty tax and I don't have to sell either.
