The High Cost of "Equity"
King County Assessor John Wilson has confirmed that if this bill passes, real property will be taxed based on the "highest and best use" of that property. So if you own a modest rambler, but a six-plex could now be built there, thanks to this bill, the land will be assessed as if the six-plex already WAS there. And it will be taxed accordingly.
This will drive many people out of their homes who can't afford to pay the tax, but of course the deal will be sweetened by the fact that they'll be able to sell those homes at a much higher price. The only catch is that they won't be able to stay in the city because they're now priced out of the market, too.
