The broadest solution is very high property taxes - ideally a land value tax - in order to encourage productive use of property and limit speculative bubbles.

Who decides what productive means? I think you should be working a second and third job. I don't think you're productive enough.

As far as I can tell, my property taxes do not change according to my productivity.
