Being forced to live in a condo is worse than death for some.
The primary reason condo prices have remained flat is the sheer number of them and condo fees itself.

I'm all for them keeping the property, assuming they are okay vastly increased taxes to support the infrastructure required to support that property. As we move away from a system where the majority of hard working individuals can afford a detached home, we should be increasing property taxes accordingly. The idea of a working poor supporting the roads, sewer/water systems, power infrastructure, etc.. for detached housing owned by an elite is totally absurd and disgusting.
We should increase property taxes, and if you can't afford those taxes, it's time to sell.
