How about we ban all the "royalty" from all these estates (and confiscate their wealth while we're on it) and use them for housing poor and homeless (and their wealth to finance this)? That seems less prone to scandals.

    That's theft

    Also they aren't even that rich by modern standards. They aren't billionaires.

    Most of the profit their land makes goes to the treasury anyway. They only get a tiny fraction of it

    So you want to steal their private property? Then bankrupt a lot of homeless charities by making them use very expensive buildings, then have a lot of bored people with nothing to do because they’re stuck in a country estate?

    How do you think the royals and nobility got their estates?
