  • Florida takes inspiration from John Howard?

    Not exactly. They will reduce the taxable value of residential houses
    for property taxes, which go to city councils. And compensate local
    government with state grants for the shortfall.
    So to win the votes of retirees, who own a bungalow on quarter-acre
    block. But this will make houses in Florida more attractive, and drive
    up prices, selling out the future generations.
    So same effect as CGT discount.
