Because you can either add new housing or just accelerate the market value of the existing. Technically, the economic dynamics of capital suggests that new housing will stabilize price acceleration by addition of supply to balance demand.

From a property tax standpoint it broadens the base... it would be up to the city to control demand on the resources. But unless they attract a lot more children placing pressure on Elm Street, the Middle School, and less likely the High School... I can't really see the budgetary downside.
