We need to talk about HOLIDAY HOMES
If you already own a home, should you be allowed to buy a spare one?
The Dutch don't think so
New laws require buyers to obtain permits to buy a 2nd home, while existing owners will be given 1 year amnesty

The existence of this blocklist is a pretty good example of why, personally, I hate the blocklist system and think it’s prone to misuse and bad faith. These blocklist systems always devolve into that
