Yes. I'm happy with inefficient use of our water supplies as well as our housing supply.

And are you happy with the concentration of wealth and power that results in fallow land being unused, Inherited and never conveyed to someone that would actually use it?

If it's someone's FIRST and ONLY house then no taxes.

Take the concept of a homestead exemption and make that for everyone's first house so people have shelter once they pay off their house that's not constantly threatened to be taken from them at the whim of government property assessors.

Investment land and whatever else can be taxed.
