   Until millennials start voting to raise property taxes until prices go down because owners want to be rid of the liability...

     @cjd they're probably going to attack it from the other angle: rent control. That combined with enforcing the expectation that the landlord maintains the property. Imagine a tenant ends up in a bind where a $10,000 plumbing problem emerges. It isn't their fault, but it has to be fixed. You don't want to fix it, or worse, you just don't have the cash for it. So the tenant lays the cash out to do this and then goes "this is coming out of rent." Except... The total cost exceeds the total amount of rent you would have collected from them.
     
     Then they go, "That's fine. When the lease expires, you can pay the remaining balance or I can take the apartment permanently."
     
     Now imagine courts actually agreeing with that kind of demand. Millennials in judicial positions WILL accept that kind of argument. They won't increase property taxes like you're saying. They'll just fuck with landlords openly. Millennials don't hate normies in suburbia anywhere nearest much as they hate fucking landlords.

     @cjd "this property hasn't been rented or used as a domicile in 6mo; the property is now on auction, but only citizens who don't currently own their domicile may bid. Bidding starts at $1."

     That will not work out well for them, they're going to end up in a van down by the river unless they have the right connections to get a rental.

     @cjd point is, every power move landlords make will be swiftly met with a judicial rebuttal to the effect of "um, no". Consider that American millennials already tried to implement an indefinite moratorium on rent because muh COVID and they took it all the way to the Supreme Court
     
     Pic related, your judge, and every appellate court. Consider

     @Phil @cjd They're going to come for landlords and commercial real estate more than homeowners.

     @cjd I dont even think that will be necessary. Soon Boomers will die off. When all their houses hit the market, prices will fall.
