Starting in 2015, Paris began taxing vacant homes the equivalent of 20% of the fair market value of rent. On January 30 this year, they tripled that amount to 60%. The idea isn’t to punish those fortunate enough to own a second (or twelfth) home. They’re trying to discourage speculation and promote a healthy rental market.

Futuret, I find it really scandalous the way these billionaire elites parade their luxuries in the public spotlight. They used to try to hide their extravagance – at a time when people would throw rocks at them for displaying it in public.

There is no dearth of vacant homes here either. We have plenty of vacant homes that are being left to rot and fall down while the homelessness epidemic spirals out of control and no one has a clue as to what to do about it. Meanwhile, those speculators swoop in and buy up properties for pennies on the dollar and then ‘lease or otherwise ‘rent-to-own’ them out to poor people who cannot make the repairs and then the house reverts back to those vultures, leaving the poor right back at square one. The system is designed to set people up for a fall and that is exactly what is occurring.

I find it really sad, Shelby, that the US doesn’t have a stronger squatter movement like they do in Europe. In the UK, Spain and Italy especially squatters are simply moving into these abandoned buildings and taking them over. The US used to have a squatter movement coordinated by Take Back the Land. In 2011 it got subsumed – like a lot of other radical organizations – by Occupy Wall Street, which has pretty much evaporated thanks to infiltration by US intelligence.

My “like” means only appreciation for reporting, not what is happening to a once great city. Or continent, or that matter.
