These taxes don't have the affect on prjects like this or much larger ones, but it's the small buisness property owner or the home owner that feels it the most!
So the government is paying them a subsidy so the developers can give it back to them for property taxes? Something tells me you don't know what you're talking about. If you're in favor of lower property taxes for homeowners and small businesses that's fine, but how is that relevant in this thread?
