The real anti homeless infrastructure is cheap or free housing
Let's consider a tax on vacant homes. If landlords got charged market rent for vacancies the house prices would plummet.
Grace to second homeowners or set-length renovations.
would the tax be based on the number of livable units in the home?
In this fantasy, market rate for comparable houses, so that's usually based on sqft, rooms and location. If you're thinking apartments in a complex I would say each apartment is a unit and taxed fair market value. I wasn't thinking about taxing spare rooms, just to avoid taxes on middle class. All of my hair brained ideas target the wealthy.
