Exactly. It's not hurting poorer people.

Even though tax is bad, this is a good one. You wouldn't know it from the title and blurb.

Which sort of throws the opposition argument of 'higher housing costs for families' out the window.

Thanks for clearing it up.

I'm not a fan of more taxes, but this seems reasonable.
