The Vancouver fines would make more sense if they based on the bedroom count. For example, why would a studio get the same penalty as a four-bed penthouse, or real house for that matter. Maybe the penalty should be commensurate with the relative net rent one might get from renting a place out? Otherwise, this tax would disproportionally hammer at the smallest units.
