I was in Vancouver last week, and there was a Vancouver Sun artical saying 80% were in favor of a 'vacancy tax'... essentially, an extra tax on property that remains vacant in order to try and minimize this problem.

While this is at least a first step in acknowledging the problem, I'm not convinced it'll actually do anything.
