    at the primary residence up to .25 acres. Anything more than that should be taxed as normal. Credits should be non transferrable, as in if you’re renting your landlord shouldn’t be able to claim you for tax exempt status.

      Farms & ranches would have to be exempt. There are some cases where it’s legit important to have a large land area.

        If you’re retired or disabled, you’re not working a farm.

        If you are working a farm, then you should be paying taxes anyway.

          Yeah but not the same level of taxes as some rich dude with a country estate. Farms serve an important function.

      .25 acres? Can we up that to at least an acre. I need a place for my chickens to roam and to plant my gardens, and I prefer to have a fire pit with outdoor patio furniture and a grill. Many places an acre is the standard plot size. Not good for everyone, but preferred by many

        If that was satire, it was incredibly well done. If it’s red sincere, it’s a great example of why property taxes should still apply at a certain point, and that point should be very narrow.

          Reject urb-spreading!

          High density, mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods for whoever wants to actually live a healthy urban life.

            That’s great and all, but you do realize that in the end that ends up being pro large corporations and limiting freedoms of the people. Cities and towns would be best built that way I agree but the chances that we can completely revoke capitalism is verryyy slim. In such every convenient/grocery store in those neighborhoods would be bought up by money and reduce prices to run out small owners. People not being able to grow their own food or raise their own chickens reduces ones ability to feed themselves independently. Communal neighborhood farms are an alternative which I have seen before, but they are rare and require space as well

              You realize there are literally dozens of examples of dense urban environments flooded with small private businesses right?
