A city Independent Budget Office report examines vacancy data from the state’s housing agency amid concerns of "warehousing."

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.

    I literally just tried to explain the idea that you were feigning misunderstanding, I have not endorsed anything. You're typical of the "HEXBEAR IS RUINING THE LEMMYVERSE" chud - making up ideas in your head and getting mad about them. Reading comprehension and your big feelings really get in the way of your engagement with the lemmyverse.
