Adjustment to Taxes to allow more RP
Suggestion: Taxes are in a fair state right now but I think with this adjustment it will bring more RP/Interactions in the city.
Allow houses & cars to be sold for any price but anything below the MSRP/base price will stay at it's original rate and anything above the base rate will climb in taxes
Example: $100,000 car = $1,000 tax. If the car sells for $50,000 then the taxes will still be $1,000 but if the car sells for $200,000 then taxes become $2,000. Same concept with houses/warehouses
Reason: There are a lot of people trying to sell their cars/houses but cannot because the supply and demand doesnt match. There was a lot of previous RP of someone trying to start their own car dealership (I believe this is actually how Tom's started unless I am wrong. So in the current state, Toms would never have been created). I know personally I would love to buy more cars just as a money dump for fun but knowing no one else would buy that car and Id be stuck with the taxes I decide not to. This would allow people to find cheaper cars/properties to be sold creating more of a money dump with things selling at a cheaper rate.
I know a big fear was people flipping cars to make millions and I dont believe this would happen much without having the real life imports in the city as the demand was much higher for them and with the tax increase on selling cars above MSRP would help combat the consumers decision on paying a higher price for said car which combats people flipping the cars for profit and only benefits people that want to buy things like boats, goofy cars etc that would be more difficult to resell.

We bumped up the minimum threshold from 10% to 20% and for the maximum threshold, we have upped it from 10% to 15%
For example, if you purchased a vehicle for $500k, previously, you were limited to selling the car between $450k and $500k. Now, you can sell the car between $400k to $575k.
We believe this change is significant enough to boost the asset selling market. In addition, we are working to make further improvements to the system by adding a way for you to scrap your assets. Our only concern at the moment is players using the asset in crime and then crushing it.
