Property taxes here aren't even that loving onerous, city 8.06 mills school district 9.84 mills County 4.73 mills and a Carnegie Library tax of 0.25 mills. Everything is under-assessed, my house is assessed at $68000 which becomes $53000 after the homestead exemption. I pay under $700 a year. http://pittsburghpa.gov/finance/property-tax-worksheet

But you see, if they didn't give these tax exemptions, these developers wouldn't build.

we can't let taxes stand in the way of progress!quote:The Mississippi Senate voted 38-10 Thursday to phase out the corporate franchise tax, reduce the individual and corporate income tax and give a tax break to self-employed people. And a House committee advanced a smaller-scale plan for individual income tax credits.

So what is the deal with the small number of people whom transportation researchers have found to be perfectly fine with their commutes, even—shockingly—enjoying them? This is a real thing: When researchers studied the preferences of 1,300 Bay Area commuters in 2004, they found that “about half of the sample were relatively satisfied with the amount they commute, with a small segment actually wanting to increase that amount.” And when the Canadian government administered a survey about 10 years ago, they found that the proportion of respondents who liked commuting (38 percent) was larger than that of those who didn’t like it (30 percent). Sixteen percent, strangely, said they really enjoyed the experience.
