Do you think this would actually happen in a place with as inefficient and corrupt local government as Detroit? Be honest.


My guess is that the Illitch and Gilbert tax bills are about to plummet as their highly improved and revenue generating properties get averaged out with 1950’s mid rises.

Bonus points if we can crank up the tax bill on families which inherited their home but never had the money to make improvements.


Detroit probably has more to gain from more efficient land use from a property tax perspective because of it's history of corruption and inefficiency
