The realtor's right about this part:
But his reasoning and complaint are way off. Sitting on undertaxed land while paying a Netflix subscription for property tax is not cool! The carrot should be double-tax elimination and no HST on owner-occupied residential new construction sales.

There’s some critically under assessed vacant land and timberland in NB that should be long addressed… not just serviced land in the middle of our biggest cities.
