They're considering moving towards rates based on land value, rather than land+improvements. Land value tax seems to be all the rage lately.

Yeah they do. But its relatively skewed towqrds improvement rather than land. Makes it less attractive to develop.

Tax land not improvements....Opportunity policy is looking popular. Encourage development.
