I strongly support this bill. A Land value tax disincentivizes a pattern of land ownership that is nothing but a drain on communities. Millions in New York work hard earn what should be a decent wage, only to have the fruits of their labor be whisked away to some out-of-town or even out-of-state landlord, who does what with his life? Not making anything of any use to other people. Instead lets take that revenue stream and direct it to improving the lives of renters. Incentivize more local ownership, and improving the property at the hearts of our neighborhoods, instead of moving to ever distant suburbs while existing neighborhoods are neglected.
