Increasingly difficult to do in these demented times, but my best guess is that this can’t be policy, but rather an outcome of the aggregate of local decisions where assessors are each individually swayed by prominence / profile as proxy’s of ‘value’. Or it could really be a Trump infused re-evaluation of spectacle and debauchery. What do you think?
