Reply to comment by AskMoreQuestionsOk in Want growth in Erie? Cut taxes on homes and jobs, hike taxes on land instead by ToffeeFever

If you have a home and buy the lot next you and merge them, your taxes still go up. I get the vacant building issue but I also thinks this hurts redevelopment and definitely farmers.

You probably need to put something in to protect farmland, otherwise you end up like NJ, where you can’t make a profit and have to sell it to build homes or solar farms or something that isn’t a farm.

But why do you think it hurts redevelopment?
