So what are you saying? That people should be encouraged to buy second
homes by making them cheaper? Because all I was saying in the post you
have replied to is that second homes are an inefficient allocation of
resources and so should not be encouraged by taxing them less.


The state should stop interfering and let people allocate their own
resources. People who have second homes are less burden in these areas as
they use the local doctors, schools, libraries far less than the locals.
