1. I think the revenue should go into a specific fund for the homeless.

The revenue projections for the city would go down, when fewer homes are vacant for long periods.
If the landlords and sellers would just give up on egregious profit, and the mortgage rates went down to prevent the banks from extracting egregious interest profits, everyone would be better able to sell and or rent.
Solves the problem of unaffordable homes, and vacancies in one fell swoop IF they wanted to.
The city is just trying to force that to happen, which I actually applaud.
