> Making a new owner pay taxes on something they didn't own sounds like the kind of cruel stupidity Democrats invoke to gain more of their holy tax revenue. Similar to capital gains tax.
Republicans do it too in red counties. I know from experience. However, red counties are usually well-ran and more desirable places to live, so there aren't as many extreme cases as Detroit. If the Dems were serious, they'd bulldoze and clear out those lots and sell the land at fair-market value. But that's not what they want. They want the land to rot and make the housing shortage worse.
