LETTER: Property hoarders should pay for the privilege

With regards to Coun. Leif Wergeland’s comments on the proposed speculation tax in the April 10 Saanich News article, ‘ Councillor wants Saanich excluded from tax ,’ I would like to point out that without rental housing our economy cannot grow. Anyone wanting to hoard property should pay taxes for that privilege.
