I would prefer a split assessment style on homes. That is, tax them on their highest and best use. If you live in a large single family home near an economic core where your property would be better off being townhomes/condos/or rentals, well that should be reflected in your property tax.

Also, a land value tax that captures people trying to arbitrage the upzone change in value.

I have ideas, people. I have them.
