Solar panels, and EV's are pocket change to the property tax breaks given to people holding tens/hundreds of millions in property in the name of preservation. I would love to have huge ranch on some of the most prime lakefront property in texas 15 mins from downtown Austin and pay a tiny fraction of what my neighbors do for a tiny fraction of the land. https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/tax-day-farms-owned-rich-provide-massive-tax-shelter/ https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/tax-day-farms-owne... I'm all for greespace preservation, but if someone is getting an exception for not developing their land, then it should be open to the public as green space. edit: (and I should point out the property valuation of the dell ranch in that article is way out of wack with the fact that adjacent housing subdivisions are having their 1/4 acre lots valued in the 200k range for taxing purposes. So turning it into a subdivision would put the just the land value in excess of a billion $ for taxing purposes.)
