Maybe just be repealed for commercial uses, I don't get it why commercial properties are exempts. There is a podcast by Malcolm Gladwell about a golf club in the heart of LA, the land worth north of $2B and they are paying property taxes on purchase price! this is insane, we need our laws to stop subsiding the rich!

one of the interesting special cases here is rental properties, in particular apartments. if the property tax is raised on these buildings, the costs will ultimately pass through to the tenants.

apartment buildings are still residentials! I am just talking about properties that nobody lives in it.
