What new tax is that? Or do you mean the changes to the Grundsteuer (which is more like an update to the value that is being taxed, I think, and it was a forced change).

Baden-Württemberg does it right. The other states not (yet).

A lot of the costs for the state, city etc. are billed separately in a lot of places.

Also, given the demographic projections, land will not be a limiting factor in the long-term anyway.
