If you pay 1% for one house, someone with 2 houses should pay 2%, and a company with 2000 homes should pay 2000%

That would make it increasingly difficult for mega companies to buy up everything and torture the housing market

    Well sorry dude, you all couldn’t bear the land transfer tax.

    Why he didn’t give you a zero dollar 99 year lease and put it in his will for you to get, I have no idea.

    There are other methods for individual to individual transfers and use of property, I’m not going to make a tax avoidance exception because you aren’t creative enough.

      Right, because paying 15x as much for the land is the same as land transfer tax… Ignoring that this isn’t even my point. Not sure why your even arguing your point when I’m by no means rich. Are you arguing average people need to be forced to pay more for things?

      Why didn’t he give me a cheap lease? Well because I’m not going to build a house on someone else land obviously. Seems like a stupid way to lose a lot of money

        So he’s altruistic enough to give it to you for free, but once it’s worth something he’d fuck you over for it?

        So is he intending to give it to you or not?

        Now it just sounds like you couldn’t figure out altruism between the both of you and you are blaming the government for taxes.

        This shouldn’t be news, but you all need taxes.

          Man, what kind of moron builds a 200k house on someone else’s 75k of land? Are you stupid or just argumentative? I don’t care how good of friends you are, I don’t want that kind of power disparity where they could casually wreck your whole life situation in any friendship.things change between people over time. If you don’t understand that, then you are probably still a child who doesn’t understand why people get divorced.

              shrug Eat a dick. This conversation has gone from something that could be worthwhile to basically talking to a wall. I’ve got better things to do than this. Like watch paint dry or watching my cat sleep.
