Denver's Ghost Tax

[Eric P]

Rent the vacant properties to the city. Make the city sign a damage policy to restore the property after thier tenants vacate.

Reduce property tax by the difference in market rate vs low income rate to make the owner whole.

But that would cut the grifters, I mean 'non-profits', out of the loop.

It also would do nothing to demonize and penalize property owners.
