So what are you saying? That people should be encouraged to buy second
homes by making them cheaper?

You seem to have this recurring difficulty in distinguishing statements from
questions.

Let's be clear: the above poster (with whom I do not always agree) was
*asking a question*.

Do you have an answer to it?

Let's repeat the question for you.

Do you know why it is that the people who are most against second homes are
those who cannot afford them? Is it jealousy?

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.

Whatever.
