I mean couldn't you do the same thing in a property tax where the buildings are exempted (ie, a Land value tax)?

Wouldn't this scenario also apply under conventional property tax regimes? Is or isn't this already happening in high property tax states? What is the specific bad effect you are invoking, and is it having the effects you predict

I want to point out that this is not really about revenue generation but about fairness -- the law requires that property be valued at market value, and so that's the policy that should be followed. As for revenue, that's a politi

Rising property values don't necessarily mean higher tax bills if the property tax rate falls to match. You will see terms like "no new revenue rate" that reflect this. The point of the article is not "Baltimore should r

I can think of at least a few counterexamples. The logic behind the hypothesis is decent and tells a plausible story, but I'd like to see a more robust analysis; has anyone done one since the article was first posted 10 years ago? Note

Maintenance of old crumbling European castles in inconvenient locations are also often famously bad deals for the owner.

There are indeed many places where the land value is effectively zero and the building is also worthless. But offers like these often have other obligations so the 1 euro cost is not the all in price.

What ax? I’m the author and a YIMBY. Read the linked article, that’s the exact title of it, and I largely agree with it! I wrote that line because it contradicted the expectations of a movement I myself belong to, which I found surprising.

I’m the author and a YIMBY for the record and it’s not meant as a snipe. The link is an article by that exact same title by Jerusalem Demsas

This is an excellent reply and what I wish the article had been, thanks!

“import geopandas” also exists and has for some time. Snark aside, WHAT is special about duckDB? I wish the author had actually shown some practical examples so I could understand their claims better.

Author here. I’ll grant “gray mirrors” without a fight. (Ideologies that admit to the same facts but one side just doesn’t care; multiply by zero instead of negative one). Also note in the article I cop to at least one salient example being

Interesting that if you were to combine AstralCodexTen and SlateStarCodex it would be around top #20. Even with the traffic split he's in the top 50 twice.

Sure it happens sometimes, but it seems like a marginal exceptional case, rather than a rule. I have a very high property tax in my area and people seem mostly concerned with increasing their property values, not lowering them. There are ot

High property taxes already exist in many places, why don’t people intentionally blight their properties and destroy their buildings simply to evade the property tax on a widespread scale?
