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.

They managed it as long as they could. Have you ever had a family before? You’re supposed to help each other. It’s what people have done for all of time.
You’ve missed my point.
