There is, however, an 'overabundance of stupid' crisis.

We have a similar problem in some downtown places here - Investors / rich-folk buy them up for reasons, and then when they are done (or 'disused') they sit empty for ever, driving prices up.

I believe I saw a motion (but no action) to tax empty condos at a higher rate than fully-occupied ones.
