Cross over from the gear grinder thread(Church taxes), but I was just looking at this church I bike past...

And it is exempt form property tax. Now, it's tough to tell from the city implication, but I think all the grass, the parking etc are all church land, it says they are all except. That's over $6 million in assessed value, which is around $30 000 in taxes. Develop that and your probably at $12 million or more. The city gives that up every year. Multiply that by all the church land in the city and it starts to hit real numbers. Maybe they should pay taxes like the rest of us...

Correct me if I'm wrong here...
