How true. Sure, 500 years from now, the microscoped property might be more valuable than the ones that aren't. But I won't live that long. What are all these rules going to do to the already depressed real estate market?
Do current waterfront owners cut and run before all the buyers realize that what they buy is what they have for ever and ever? Who can afford all this? Certainly not common folk that bought years ago, who, due to unbridled spending, are just trying to keep up with these taxes
Since this seems to be a system of incentives, how about the state pick up 75% of the cost of one of their mandates. So, for example, the state says: in order to sell our (ooops: your) property you have to move the septic back 250 feet. (Assuming there is 250 feet in your lot) The state can pay 75% of the cost of it, after all, its the state as a whole, in the long run, that benefits from this all. If they can effortlessly place all these rules on us, then whats a few more bonds to float?
