I suspect RII (rampant illegal immigration) is MUCH more costly. And, in many more ways.

One high cost has to do with importing measles and antibiotic-resistant tuberculosis as well as skin diseases and who knows what else, and then sending the illegal kids to schools in our towns.

The driving force behind getting undeveloped land on the market is the property tax. When land owners get sick of paying the taxes on unused land they unload it. With no tax, most people probably wouldn't sell land because one can afford to just keep it and do nothing with it. So the supply of land for sale dries up, and prices go through the roof. Maybe if the state distinguished between residential and commercial/agricultural/industrial/undeveloped land for tax purposes.
I don't know. The entire concept of property taxes means that the government owns all property and you are just renting it from them. And I just really loath that.

Since property taxes only encompasses Real Estate and improvements to them, that is not actually true.
mineral property interests that remain undeveloped are untaxed.
