Does Mr. Doyle think it is logical to impose a residential land tax on zoned lands which are not being built on because of a viability issue and that, at 3%, depending on the value of the land, the imposition of that tax will reduce the cost of housing? He said earlier we have a viability issue, which means that, clearly, it is not affordable to build the houses, but now it is proposed that on the vacant site that is not being built on we should impose a land tax at a rate of 3% per annum that is not refundable - or, at least, currently not refundable. Does that sound logical? Does it sound like it would serve to reduce housing costs?
