Wait, if you want people on the lower end of the economic scale to own land, why would you want to punish them with higher property taxes?

Larger areas of land with high value are taxed more. Low socioeconomic people don't put mansions on large estates.
Screw that. I know people who have to keep working in their retirement because of their property taxes. If you're gonna tax land it should be proportional to how developed that land is. You shouldn't be taxed off of your land because you bought it 40yr ago before it was valuable.
Good question. It should be a progressive tax
