If you have a 2M house the worst case scenario is selling it. There is no reason to choose to become homeless. Indeed losing it to taxes literally takes years whereas selling takes 30 days.
The government should not have the power to take your house away because some rich asshole has decided he's willing to give you a fuck load of money for it. The value of the house is imaginary until it's sold.
Your saying this person's is sitting on top of land that could make the government more money if someone else with more money was living there. You want to take away people's homes so that the government can make more money from the newer richer occupant, I don't think that's ok.
You need to tax the rich asshole so that he never gets to having 2M in disposable income in the first place, and leave poor grandpa out of it.
