Also one other idea comes to mind. There are programs like the "This Old
House" program which let people do improvements to their homes without
immediately being taxed for them. This could also contribute to why two
homes might have the same estimated market value but different taxes.
Why should we even need an exception like "This Old House"? Why should
people be taxed more for building better buildings when there is little
relationship between expensive structures and public services consumed?
Do you, Carol, have any thoughts on the Land Value Tax?
