Landlords should have to pay income tax on their rental properties regardless of whether they're rented out or not. (gothamist.com)

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.

The best part of this is the person whose idea I was trying to explain to you - and never once endorsed - isn't a Hexbear user. You're just full-on making up shit when all I was trying to do was explain the concept a user from a completely different instance suggested. Congrats on being too dumb to both a) get the idea and b) attribute the idea to the correct instance.

This is all entirely too perfect, I hope you don't delete your replies because they are a perfect encapsulation of the liberal anti-hexbear derangement.
