I like idea of taxing higher unoccupied homes. If someone wants to make investment, great make investment and either pay high taxes (support folks who do live there) or have to rent it.

Vancouver did this.

Sort of - they just apply a tax on unoccupied homes. As long as it's rented, the owner does not pay the tax.
