What happened
Rotterdam implemented a vacant housing registry to address local housing shortages. The proposal requires banks to sell foreclosed houses within six months, or the properties will be put up for public auction. The town has previously addressed properties owned by residents of New York City.

Why it matters
The measure aims to return vacant properties to the market, which proponents suggest could lower housing prices. The registry was created because many properties sit empty, sometimes owned by large companies or consortiums that do not utilize them.
