Especially when those 2nd, 3rd, + properties are being used as passive short term rentals. Observing the state of the housing situation “Hmm there aren’t enough homes for normal families to each have a chance, I should turn this extra property of mine into a vacation rental.” does this make said person a POS?

    There’s a lot to unpack here. My two cents are:

    • progressively higher property taxes for every additional one (probably with an upper limit)
    • restrictions and heavy taxes on short term rentals
    • any house that’s not a permanent short term rental (with associated taxation) and has not been the object of a long term rental for some reasonable amount of time, gets forcibly put on the rental market at a government fixed rate
    • heavy fines for and seizure of properties intentionally left unoccupied to artificially inflate rents
