More and more people are annoyed at the continually rising house prices.They want to know
who is to blame for it.Local governments, developers and speculators (投机商) share a vested (既
得的) interest in it.People who are really in need of homes are most likely to suffer heavy losses.
     Many local governments depend on selling land to keep its normal operation.The higher land
prices, the more money.Therefore, developers back the local governments by buying land at high
prices.In return, the governments make favorable policies to help the developers.For example, drive
all the possible home buyers to this nasty (危险的) market.They even encourage large numbers of
speculators to catch more people.
     Rising house prices have already become the fence which divides the Chinese society.It has
caused widespread dissatisfaction.The government will lose the support of the common people if
leaving house prices out of control.Besides, rising house prices will stop us building the new
countryside as the present policy actually forbid people to flow freely from cities to the countryside.
     Collecting taxes on houses can fundamentally solve this problem.On one hand, it will discourage
the speculators.On the other hand, it will offer a stable tax resource apart from reducing the sales
cost of the developers.Secondly, stop the developers selling the houses before completion.If so, the
developers will certainly try their best to sell all their houses once completed.And this will also lower
speculators' expectation of price rising, which will decrease speculations.
