The Penticton Press argues for taxing land values rather than improvements. It explains Henry George style single tax, contrasts extreme and practical uses, and urges equal taxation on land to boost development while limiting burdens on productive citizens. It cites Manitoba's practice and promotes fair assessment of unoccupied downtown properties.
An advocate argues that taxation should favor landowners who improve land and that poorer farmers pay heavier taxes. They cite Summerland and Vancouver as models adopting similar approaches and urge Penticton to adopt the system to boost future prosperity.
