This tax breaks will not affect every homeowner on these economically distressed neighborhoods. Because all homeowners are not Investors or real estate developers. So when those beneficiary business people from this program will start injecting funds. Building construction projects on these areas tax on properties will grow rapidly. All homeowners who are living today in this neighborhood will hit hard by the tax inflation.
