In a brainstorm that has leftist central planners around the world salivating, an Australian market analytics firm has proposed that the country start imposing a tax on spare bedrooms. The aim: To ease the country’s housing shortage by incentivizing those who have more housing than they “need” to sell and downsize.

Cotality says that, to “fix” this discrepancy, “governments could make it more expensive to have more housing than you need, and cheaper to live in smaller housing.”

Lucy with dark brown hair wearing a yellow sleeveless top and a small pendant necklace, seated in a wooden chair and speaking into a black microphone on a boom arm against a plain beige wall with a serious expression.

Lucy Connolly is not, by her own admission, a politician, a pundit, or a revolutionary.

She is, as she puts it, a “nobody.” A mother of two from Northampton, England, married to an engineer and local politician; and, until last year, was more concerned with school runs and snack schedules than the state of Britain’s freedom of expression.
