Do you actually think that Trump didn't lie on his applications? ...

Property taxes:
Property taxes would have to be automatically raised as soon as a property is listed for sale, even at an inflated amount (listing price) and could not be lowered if the final sales price was less than the listed price. Likewise, sellers would not be allowed to lower the price to attract buyers. Remains to be seen what would happen in the case of a low price being asked, to stimulate a bidding war.
Book banning:
Obviously, The Art of the Deal and any others like it would have to be banned.
Cancel culture and genocide:
Negotiating would be banned, which would lead to the genocide of entire cultures. For example: All Armenian males would have to be imprisoned or euthanized if negotiating, aka haggling, i.e. dickering, is banned, because I'm not aware of any Armenian males that aren't ready, willing and able to haggle. Random street purveyors would automatically be arrested if they accept anything less than the price they originally pitch.
Free market ends:
The market no longer decides the value. Only the seller does and everyone has to be bound by the wild imaginations of a seller. This essentially means, you would have to imprison or euthanize any and all "qualified" buyers if they do not immediately put a listing price offer on the table. The notion of the "Biggest Sale ever" would go by the wayside. All sales are at list price! No telling what it means for Surge pricing.
ECCIE rulz would have to be changed:
Notwithstanding, your not being the OP, would seem to violate the rules of governance of the thread conduct. Do we even need to consider negotiating provider rates or reviews?!?
Frankly, it is preposterous to think otherwise, unless your real agenda is as a Globalist Depopulation acolyte.
