funny, my recommendation [land value taxation] is almost the exact opposite. i've already pointed out that it may not work, though i think it should be considered.
my question is this: is the reason for downtown's general malaise and decrepitude a tax issue? are corporate offices and condo developments scorning the city because the taxes are too onerous? i'm not sure about that but i betcha the answer's no. there are numerous other reasons for that that we've discussed to death in various threads on SSP.
perhaps the idea could work. i don't have an answer for our woes but something has to be done. a little creativity in taxation could help...certainly not the status quo.
