^^ I'd rather see utility rates adjusted by usage. You want a 5,000 SqFt mini palace with a heated pool, 6 bathrooms and 3 kitchens cooled to 68 degrees in Summer and heated to 78 degrees in Winter? Pay for it. Extra fees for water and sewerage over 1,000 gallons/mo. Extra fees for electric and gas over some minimal base consumption [[ie 1,000 KwHrs for electric).

Total utilities for a typical 1,100 SqFt bungalow with one bathroom, one kitchen and no A/C could be under $100/mo in most cases.

Taxes too. Property tax rates would double over 2,500 SqFt and triple over 5,000 while they would drop to near nothing [[$500/yr or less) for the basic bungalow.
