    A lot of property tax systems require you to pay a percentage of the estimated value of the property every year in tax. Which is exactly the point, unrealised gains being taxed in the case of your property appreciating while you live there.

      Wouldn’t that bite people when housing prices go up? I mean someone having a 600k house isn’t really having access to that money.

      Tax the rich though!
