Your point is retarded. No reasonable person would consider a property without utilities and road access to be an "Urban" property.

The intent of the "Speculation tax" was to incentivize, through monetary penalty, those holding vacant & usable housing to rent or sell to ordinary BC residents. If that housing holds no practical use for ordinary residents, as in this case, than that tax does not meet its intended purpose and those properties should be exempt. Period.
This was not intended as an "Asset Tax" on those that simply have more than you do. GTFO with that commie bullshit.
