cheaper for County to purchase vacant lots as a way of slowing population growth
Or, the County could provide a real estate tax exemption for homeowners who purchase vacant lots. The vacant lot requires no County services, it reduces growth and the demand for additional services, traffic on highways, the need for additional stop lights, etc.
The County reduces it's spending when a taxpaying homeowner buys a vacant lot, so why not reimburse the vacant lot owner with their savings as a tax exemption?
