==== Criticisms of 'split-roll' reform: ====
#*YIMBY Action: "We are conflicted about that proposal because it risks incentivizing municipalities to build only commercial and not residential, to increase their tax revenue." <br/> (Laura Clark, YIMBY Action, quoted in [Reisenwitz 2017]).
#*“Our position has always been that if you’re going to have a tax increase, it should be broad-based and universally applicable,” says California Chamber of Commerce policy advocate Jennifer Barrera. “A split-roll tax treats residential property differently from commercial property, so it’s discriminatory.” (quoted in [Abramsky 2016]). <br/>
=== Repeal or raise business tax, but mitigate resulting upward pressure on rents by expanding state income-tax credits for low-income renters. [Sexton 1999]. <br/> ===
