It’s not pointless. Depending on where you live, there’s a good chance you do have an abundance of cheap housing available. They’re just not in desirable locations, so many would opt to either pay extra for the privilege of living in more desirable homes or even living on the streets.

Regarding taxes, I’m talking about those who haven’t previously paid taxes, are not currently paying taxes while living in the area, and have no plans to pay taxes after they leave the area.
