> Idea: after age 65, quadruple property taxes on single family homes. Between ages 18-40 zero taxes on your homestead property.

I mean, what next then?  Is it going to trend that when they die Boomers make the house their grave and it just sits empty with their body rotting within?  It's quite ridiculous. 

If you are 80 years old, let's be honest.   Unless you are in great shape, It's time for you go to an assisted living faculty or something because eventually you are going to start falling down or getting dementia.

I disagree.

Young single people don't need big houses.

And we shouldn't reward mudsharking single moms with mulatto bastard kids.

Here's a better idea:

1) Impose a national property tax of 1%.

2) All homeowners have to pay the national property tax, EXCEPT married heterosexual couples who are using the home as their primary residence (widows are also exempt, since it's not their fault their spouse died).

This will make encourage people to get married, stay married, and make homes more affordable to people who want to get married and raise kids.

Everyone else (private equity buyers, foreign investors, AirBNB vulture buyers, rich assholes buying 10 vacation homes, etc) will have to pay the national property tax.

The best way is actually for the elderly to live with their adult children.

That's how humans advanced for 200,000 years.

Want to make housing affordable?  Throw the guest workers out.  Throw the illegals out.
Any national property tax will only inch skyward.

Single mother?  Tax rate of 50%

Married young family? Tax rate 25%

Old man who paid off his home?  Tax rate 0%

Immigrant?   GET the fuq out.

I actually agree in most cases.

The untidy fact is that it's the adult kids who historically lived with the parents.

Zero property taxes, unless there is an ongoing mortgage. After that you are exposed to local upkeep and school zone taxes. No kids no tax, low crime area, low tax, low fire risk, low taxes.

So you pay for what you get.

Fuq off, bagger.
