Didn’t St George just prove the opposite of this? They basically ruled that losing the suburbs taxes would irrevocably harm urban Baton Rouge?

I’m dealing with this now…homestead exemption is a life saver otherwise I would be paying with a 30%+ increase this year. Capped at 10%.

Unfortunately, it means that I’ll pay the 10% increase every year for the foreseeable future.

I don’t agree with any of that guy’s takes, but I also don’t know that you can consider St. George a “suburb” - at least not in the way he’s describing them. There’s not a ton of difference between south Baton Rouge and St. George (in terms of layout, population density, etc.) nor is there really any defining line when you leave BR and enter St. George.

I’m speaking from a practical standpoint - obviously there is a defining line based on the city limits, but if you didn’t know the history or look at a map you wouldn’t be able to tell when you crossed between the two.

That said, his take on suburbs is retarded. And also frick SWB.
