    It is very scary, and I have been surprised at the number of people =

      That's scary, As more governments find out about this I expect =
more to try and use it. Personally I think that those who support this =
should be the first to give up their property . Hey Mr. Mayor, I'll move =
into your house and they can take mine .

      Increasing the tax base can be a public good but what if you move =
all of the Public out . Good for who then.

        Actually the 10,000 may be understated.  A case similar to this =
was argued to the Supreme Court this year.  I don't know if a decision =
has come out yet or not, but the really scary part is that the decision =
is far from certain and the court could rule that its perfectly fine for =
politicians to steal people's property in order to enhance the so called =
public good of increasing the local property tax base.
