Nah, I’m not opposed to the proposition, and understandably any such tax law (if legislated with due consideration) should take into account cases where the effect may be otherwise than intended (or be amended with further subsequent legislation). Corporate squatting is a literal travesty.
I was just a bit baffled at the gall of supposing that the cost/benefit calculation of this kind of lifestyle choice could be up for second-hand proscription.
I certainly don’t want to decide for your family how to live their lives, but five parties just so scraping by doing the payments on a hunting lodge seems miserable for everyone involved. Wouldn’t it be possible to rent one instead / buy one in a cheaper area / rent out the lodge when not in use?
I also wouldn’t consider a lodge in the middle of nowhere a residential building that should fall under those taxes when kept empty to drive up the rent.
