I didn't say it wasn't fair. I said I didn't like it. And, it's not a matter
of unimproved vs. improved, rather it's a matter of the high tide lifting
all boats... err, houses, err, whatever.

Thanks for the clarification. Doesn't work like that here... if
you make improvements or the market value increases for whatever reason,
your property taxes go up. If you think I like this, you'd be wrong. :-)

Hey, Jon, but it's "fair." After all, if your property is improved you
must
have more wealth than the guy next door whose property is unimproved. And
we
know from Charlie that that means you should pay more tax.
