Either it adds value or it doesn't, if square footage is the main thing then it doesn't add as much value you as think.

This is the beautiful thing about prices - we let individuals decide what something is worth. Perhaps we don't need new taxes but just better assessors and planning.

It does add value in the real market. It doesn't add value according to the town property assessor. There's a disconnect between reality and property taxes.
