The process is interesting but just to make the point - I often see Americans obsessing over the implementability of land valuation processes as if its entirely new and needs to be invented when other states and countries have established systems that have been working for in many cases over a century.

For instance below from Australia

You're aware that you're citing the policies of the province that contains the second most expensive place in the world to own a home, right? Sydney is worse than the Bay Area when adjusted for incomes, and most other cities in Australia are almost as bad.

Most Americans spend about 0 seconds of their lives thinking about land valuation methods, unless you count complaining about how their property taxes are too high (which is a global phenomenon in my experience).

And every municipality in the US is able to assess property currently, though how good of a job they do varies of course.

This site, as does reddit and a couple other similar places online, has a very vocal portion of the userbase that spends a significant amount of time obsessing over socialist policies that are wildly unpopular overall and largely impossible to implement at this time.

Don't take it as a representation of Americans overall.
