So people who grew up there have to leave and the economy declines all so someone can holiday there. It's pretty bad.

That if they can afford to own multiple homes without even having to rent them out then maybe more council tax isn't the solution. They can afford that as well.
If you can't prevent people from acquiring second homes by tax disincentives then the only way surely must be by law.
