But isn't it that you also need repair stuff with your house? The same for public property - it's never "finished" and needs repairing, etc.

  Money spent on taxes doesn't go to fix your own property.

    No it goes to fix the shared infrastructure. People would definitely like it less if they were billed for the infrastructure costs directly. For example it’s clear here that the downtown subsidises the sprawl.

      But why take it out of property tax?

        Are you going to tax income so landowners become richer at the expense of others? Do you want landlords to charge for public services that they did not provide?

          I don't know. I don't like paying any tax. Maybe you could have the government start companies to make money instead of taxing others. >Do you want landlords to charge for public services that they did not provide I'm not quite sure what you mean by this, but it's not legal to sell an item or service and then not give them that item / service.
