"Reduced" property taxes on low environmental impact residential units. Which in fact turns into increased property taxes on "environmentally inefficient" residential units. Which turns into higher fiscal pressure for people that cannot afford to refurbish their homes. Which turns into them selling their properties (sometimes built by their great grandfathers) to rich turists that are able to afford the required refurbishments.
