This is why we should take some forms of Degrowth seriously.
The three biggest expenses for 99% of households are housing, food, and transportation. Once we get the farm paid off and it's making a decent portion of our food, if I "retire" and don't have to commute... I really won't need that much money. Nor will the next generation.

Eliminating property taxes for consumption taxes is how you bankrupt your state. Not only have you just advantaged wealthy out-of-state people & AirBnB investors who want a vacation home, but your state's financial situation collapses in the next recession when tourism dries up.
