What's this?

It doesn't to the individual, which was the point. If a jurisdiction has

more people (Fairfax has 3x Loudon) then of course they are going to get more revenue. And if their property values are higher as well then that means more. But the half cent, $25 on $500k, is meaningless to the individual
