[RP TownTalk] Development, Under Development, and Non Development

[Roland Walker]

Land Value Tax has already been discussed ad infinitum in Riverdale
Park.  Candidates have even run for office on this platform (and
lost).  It has been discussed on TownTalk:

   http://riverdale-park.org/pipermail/towntalk/2006-April/000406.html

At the request of some citizens, multiple mayoral administrations and
multiple councils have given the idea due consideration.  To my
knowledge, no member of town government has proposed to implement it.

This is probably because, while it is a somewhat nifty idea, it is not
an important one, nor a particularly valuable tool for our specific
issues (see the link above).
