Many European Countries have speculative Taxes on real estate, which aims to restrict capitalistic speculators, from creating excessive and un-necessary demand for real estate. I hope we all appreciate that excessive real estate development has severe negative implications for the environment and contributes significantly to Global Warming. I suggest that these types of taxes should be imposed in Goa on all Non Goans, purchasing real estate or land; these taxes can be further increased significantly on any additional real estate/land purchase. Small Goa particularly needs urgent curbs on un-necessary real estate & Land Sales favoring non-goans, given the rapid destruction/contamination of its land, water & environment, with other negative implications like rapid reduction in Goan demographics/Identity, influx of un-necessary migrant labour for construction etc This suggestion has alreadly been given to the Goa Government many times but un-fortunately we have not see any action as yet!!
