CAr, as you know from my posts over the years, both my wife and I come from families who have owned properties here for over a century, many of which we have inherited, and we both realize our good fortune (wrt real estate) was simply based upon being related to people who happened to be at the right place at the right time and who had the vision and the means to create a successful enterprise that we have continued to develop.
That said, I completely understand how there are many aspects of this situation wrt to property taxes, etc., that seem unfair to other taxpayers, and I can understand how there would be interest in legislating change. To that, I can only say that I believe that anyone in our same position would have taken advantage of these opportunities just as we have, but, perhaps it is time to reevaluate the situation from a different vantage point, and I wish you the best on your crusade.
