That’s a very fair proposal.

I don’t agree that second home ownership is immoral, as someone who regularly encounters homeless folks traveling for work I sincerely doubt that most of them would be buying homes even if they were cheap. Mental health care is the major need there.

But yeah, having them pay more to support the area is certainly fair. The counterargument is that they don’t consume local services like schools, EMS, fire, etc. but meh, I still think it makes sense to pay a bit more. Maybe to subsidize small businesses in the area or something, I don’t know what the right answer is.
