In practice it’s a huge windfall for the very wealthy mansion owning class, as the tax on the improvements of their land (ie. Their mansion) fall to zero.

In order to compensate, tax on land is increased, so the relatively poorer homeowner who owns land with a relatively worthless house sees little benefit but in fact a tax increase, as the taxes that we’re previously being paid by the mansion owners fall onto them.
