Lets think through this.

I “developer” buys a run down property, does some minor renovation, gets the tax assessor to come out and jack up the “value”. Run the renovation out past the time frame and poof - automatic buyer at the new appraised tax value.

Hey, what could go wrong?

Berkeley state Senator Nancy Skinner last week introduced legislation that would let local governments fine developers that leave homes unoccupied for at least 90 days. Local governments would also be allowed to use eminent domain to acquire vacant properties and then rent them or sell them to a nonprofit.

Plank #1 of the Communist Manifesto: Abolition of private property in land and application of all rents of land to public purpose.

> “But it would also punish landlords who may now be more inclined to leave properties vacant because the cost of upkeep and improvements exceed the rent they can charge under the ***state’s new rent-control law***.”

Freepers had a discussion last year when California passed its statewide rent control of what results would be expected.

And now we see vacant properties will be fined for not being rented at a bigger loss.

Insane.

I’m glad to see this happen though because it means the beginning of the end of democrat rule in California.

I wasn’t going to go to work today. I’m (I was) feeling down. Its a cold rainy day here. But then...I read this story ....about the proverbial Democratic mask revealing more ...and the next story Never Sanders - The Democratic Implosion. I feel better! It seems sunny now. I cant wait to read a couple more.

Maybe it’s a little silly to say this, but often when I see articles like these, I think of watching TV show or movies done in and around the Los Angeles area during the 1960s to 1980s period and in turn think of how housing was likely that good deal more affordable for people even back then. And the problems that are going on now (Jim Rockford’s trailer would likely go for about $900k or even more) were caused by having all of these people come flooding in and promising them a free lunch.

“fine developers that leave homes unoccupied for at least 90 days”

That would just mean houses no longer get built on speculation.

“inclined to leave properties vacant”

Many people are very leery of renting out property.

I live in Florida, where addicts drift down from northern states.

It’s a terrible law.

But the above is a reasoning fantasy. I doubt anyone could find an example.

Aren’t these illegal takings?

Whatever. Leftists don’t believe in private property.

Looters. Ayn Rand had it right.

Reminds me of when Africa got rid of farmers and no one knew how to farm.

I have the perfect solution. We build one HUGE house over the entire United States of America and everyone gets their own bedroom. Bathrooms would be limited to one per 5,000 bedrooms complete with a Sheldon style bathroom schedule.This way we can say no one is homeless in the United States of America and that this country is every one’s home that lives here. We could rename the country Noah’s Ark of America. /s
