In their current form, our property taxes discourage much-needed new housing—while doing little to deter those who are actively hoarding land and homes. We need an overhaul if we’re serious about housing affordability, and luckily, we don’t have to look far for the answer.
Oh bloody hell.
Look: if someone’s bleating about high taxes, you know where it came from. This is classic “don’t tax, don’t spend” conservative bullshit.
Next people will be bleating about the high cost of fire support and road maintenance they’re next paying directly out of pocket.
… or what the fuck did you think cities DO with the tax money you don’t want to pay?
I like it when my water and power and sewer work, so kindly fuck off with your tax whinging and just pay your fair share.
