[Purple]

Site development taxes, and high taxes generally are a key contributor to the current disaster.

How so?

What Purple is proposing is the opposite — a site non-development tax.

We've discussed this a million times previously.

We all know that.

It won't work.

How about zone the land and then deliver services. Once the sites are shovel ready apply a site value tax at the appropriate rate.

To ann extent this is what is happening.

But there are cases where no development then occurs or development starts on other zoned land in the town.

I think some towns had too much zoned land which wouldn’t let them focus and plan for what area to develop next.
