Property taxes should act as a mechanism to promote increased density. If you can’t afford the property taxes on your land, that’s probably a sign that more people should be living on that land.
That brings in the discussion of zoning reform which these very same people would never support.
I understand the politics of it, but that doesn’t change what the right thing to do is economically.
Well.... hoarding all of the generational wealth and then crying about the taxes being to high for you to keep it isn't really the right thing to do either. We're on the same side of the argument, but that won't make anything change.
