The correct answer: because people with real estate investments are into politics.
We need to enforce conflict of interest rules on politicians, and keep people with CoIs from running, holding cabinet positions or otherwise making decisions.
Such a bill would never pass if it means people writing and voting on the bill have a versed interest in neutering the bill or voting against it.
Tax brackets also need to be fixed, loop holes need to be closed, but it won’t happen either because we have millionaires holding cabinet positions, or politicians who have millionaire friends they’d like to help out in exchange for funding.
People with conflicts should recuse themselves to keep their spot and their integrity.
I’d accept a politician who had property and recused around housing votes, same as I’d respect a conservative who recused around oil, housing, religion, abortion, sovereignty and welfare. And vaccinations too, I guess, after the Karen convoy.

How about if you want more than 1 house it comes with a huge tax bill every year to deter people from gobbling up all the real estate
Yes, but also no conflicts of interests.

I for one would love to have a vacation home. The market out there doesn’t allow for it though, but those that have no home come first.

This seems perfectly acceptable to me, so long as they don’t try to influence others.
Yes, the people in control of the decision are the ones with the conflict of interests… I can see this going nowhere :)…:(
