Why? Because apparently they need some more incentive to keep units occupied. Also, even though a property might be vacant, there’s still imputed rental income there. Its owner is just receiving it in the form of enjoying the unit for himself instead of receiving an actual rent check from a tenant. That imputed rent ought to be taxed like any other income.
They make 0$, so how is it an “income” tax
nominal income

you’re welcome to disagree but wasting this much time pretending to not understand is just childish, have a very nice day weirdo
It’s taxed upon selling, for the value of the house, which would tax exactly what you’re talking about.
Trying to act like I’m not understanding makes you sound “childish” my dude. Grow tf up and READ. INCOME TAX ON ZERO DOLLARS IS ZERO DOLLARS
Edit: This dude’s banner is a 9/11 photo. Nice… I’m arguing with a literal troglodyte over the semantics of a dumb article title.
amazing, now you understand and it’s almost like I didn’t have to waste any time explaining this stupid concept to you
thanks, good job, very useful
You are 100% part of the problem for hexbear’s negative view from outsiders.
Tax the rich’s 0$ monthly rents! That’ll show um.
One more reply, since I expect you haven’t got the testicular fortitude to keep up - I, and probably all hexbears, think landlords shouldn’t exist at all. Your idea that some liberal plan to tax them differently is indicative of hexbear is a fundamental ignorance of our actual politics.
Landlords should not exist in any fashion.
I think you’re barking up the wrong tree, comrade. I think u/Zuberi really is anti-landlord and hasn’t said anything to suggest otherwise. And their comment about hexbear’s reputation on other instances wasn’t anything having to do with the OP, it was about how you were insulting them.
if that’s the case it’s weird that they decided to be a pedant and pretend not to understand the extremely plain and simple original statement. It’s plain they disagreed with it but didn’t want to just say that.
For real, nat—take a chill pill. I say this with all the good faith love I share with all my comrades. Somebody being a pedant doesn’t automatically make them a chud. @Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com reads like a fellow traveler still working out their
. Cut them a little slack.
