 4 one or more persons, each of whom is sixty-five years of age or over, or
 5 real property owned by a married couple or by siblings, one of whom is
 6 sixty-five years of age or over, or real property owned by one or more
 7 persons, some of whom qualify under this section and the others of whom

 20 (d) feasible revisions to real property tax policies, procedures and
 21 practices that have the potential to reduce the tax burden for senior
 22 citizens with properties located within special districts that are
 23 subject to real property taxation; and
 24 (e) strategies that will support an equitable distribution of real
 25 property taxation within such special districts.
