10 year tax-phase in for ALL new city homebuyers (much like the current new construction tax phase-in). Commit to $.03-$.05 tax reduction per year for 20 years. Reduce or sunset the homestead tax credit after 10 years. This will encourage new buyers, expand the tax base, immediately address current budget issues with increased transfer taxes.

Best of all there is no downside, except for some polticians and community leaders who will not be able to retain power with an better informed and caring electorate.
