What a time wasting goofball argument. Many laws exempt all or part of your primary residence from consideration, and no reason not to include this one, for the exact reason you said. Many localities also are flexible with property taxes for example, letting senior citizens, the disabled, or those with low income freeze their property taxes. Yes, if we implement a new law badly the results might be bad, but why would we do that? Obviously we would write the legislation carefully to address all such details. It does not make sense to raise objections that are so trivially addressed.
