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.

Because you want a nice house to live in?

Building should be profitable, owning should be of limited profitability.

All you’ve done is move the point I’m arguing to the building process instead of renting.

Building is separate from owning.
