In an attempt to deal with an affordable housing crisis, the Dutch housing minister recently proposed a law that would have allowed municipalities to force some property owners to sell their homes only to low and middle-income earners. The problem the policy is trying to fix is one that's particularly acute in Canada.

Scale property tax for number of properties owned. Double it per property owned.

I'd like to see that happen, but I'd also like prohibitively high taxes for homes over 2000 sq'. Nobody needs a house that big, and if we're destroying natural habitat to fit ultra large homes, then someone should be paying heavily for it.
