Comment on Could a tax against empty homes help end Australia's housing crisis?

It should be based on bedrooms.

A four bedroom house should have a minimum three people living there as their principle place of residence. The address on their drivers license, electoral roll, school encirclement, etc. If you have less people, you should pay… I dunno, $40k per year in tax?

The government can use that $40k to buy all the homes people are suddenly going to want to sell, and put them on the rental market.
