[Massplanners] Property Taxes

[Chris Skelly]

Chris, I would add the distinction on municipal revenue that it isn’t just
based on residential, commercial or industrial.  Rather, there is a huge
revenue distinction between single family homes and denser mixed-use
housing/missing middle housing.



The StrongTowns study noted below makes the case on how denser residential
neighborhoods end up subsidizing single family neighborhoods because the
single family neighborhoods don’t pay for all the services and capital
needs over time.
