Alright to this evening& #39;s housing thread is brought to you by this question:

& #39;I have friends who think a vacancy tax would do more to solve Seattle& #39;s housing problem than upzoning. Is this true?& #39;

And before I begin, still underemployed and would love to hit $40 for this thread.

Ok let& #39;s go!

So the first thing I want to do is get a few things out of the way. 1) even though a problem may exist in a similar city (let& #39;s say SF for example) it& #39;s important to remember that although the problems are similar, given the differences in laws the reasons could be different.
