This government is communist.
What happened to property rights?
This policy is a fundamental infringement on individual liberty and ownership rights.
What if same logic applied to the cash in people’s bank accounts, paintings or jewellery “well you are not using it”.
There are so many reasons properties can end up empty for a period of time. How long must it be vacant before the government seizes it for 7 years?
So much for “That the house of every one is to him as his Castle and Fortress”
I said it in 2020 and I’ll say it again.
If you leave a home empty long-term in the middle of a housing crisis, it should be seized.
Today’s announcement is great news.
