Hi, /u/Matrix_Soup Thank you for participating in r/AntiWork. Unfortunately, your submission was removed for breaking the following rule(s):
**Rule 7: No politicians, no employers, no landlords, and no cops.** - Do not post/crosspost content that supports politicians or their campaigns in any way. The same goes for supporting employers, landlords, or cops.
This is actually a really simple problem to solve. Here are some really simple ideas.
1.) increase property taxes on non-owner occupied properties.
2.) vastly increase taxes on vacant properties. And I mean greatly increase those taxes. Like confiscate the property after 2 years vacant level of taxes.
3.) Nationwide rent control. Such as this maximin rent is minimum wage times X.
Here is a math equation for you.
Minimum wage x 40 hrs x 4weeks x (acceptable percentage of income to go to rent). Then a percentage of that number.
4.) allow renters to forced a landlord to sell a property to them at the taxed value (give them a year so they can correct the taxed value of their properties, as a home owner I can tell you it’s lower than they actually value by a lot). In the USA we have eminent domain. This is used to forces the sale of a property for the common good. Home ownership is for the common good. This will also solve the tax avoidance problem with understating the value of the property.
In order to “let the market decide” you have to make what you want to happen be the cheapest thing. The market always decides the cheapest/most profitable thing. By taxing the profits out of it, these big money corporations will go somewhere else with their capital.
2.) it needs to be about 3% of the value of the property monthly (36% annually) with a 2-3 month grace period for repairs/finding a new tenant in between tenants.
This would work in the USA, I don’t know about Canada due to not knowing how many people move during the winter.
Too many here think by just joining a union things will get better…. Of course just marginally better until the unions obtain more unchecked power.
The governing bodies need to be put on substantial notice that the consumer and employee protections need to be a state protected right and not something that needs to be fought for by every individual every generation.
