If you want to change the economics of residential landlords in the villages, this will do it. Their property taxes will go up.
Commercial property taxes will also go up, but relatively less - so, yes we will pay more for a burger or a beer. But probably not more than the savings of not paying taxes.
maybe, but the cities have a higher proportion of commercial vs residential, so how will the inequity of commercial vs residential between municipalities be reconciled?
