are you saying tax benefits should be inherited? are they disabled? why pay for schools for all if the kids still want to live behind their retired parents resources meant for their old age. children already inherit their parents homes without paying market rate tax rate. even though that isnt relevant to my point. driving out californians who have build cities by creating more and more unaffordable housing is a ponzi scheme.

perhaps if housing stock is increased for those who dont use public utilities and said homes are fully sustainable for utilities and trash, power(solar), water...and they submit to using roads only 2-3 days/week..well..then it would make sense. but thats not possible.

people who live in homes need utilities/services. infrastructure has to be scaled along with population increase. children need to go to school. schools need teachers. housing stock increase without a proper plan for utilities and infrastructure just seems like a plan that is set up to fail. and the only ones who lose are the tax payers.

I feel like you're about to make a "modest proposal"[1] for a possible solution to this terrible problem
