Not much is worse than losing your home bc you can no longer afford your outrageous mortgage payments with all the increases in taxes and insurance.

Increases in insurance, for sure. But no one is “unable to pay their mortgage” because of property tax increases.

The problem is that the homestead exemption was meant to exempt your home and was set at $75k when the median home value was under $35k. It should be $500k.

You are probably right about increasing the amount somewhat, but half a million dollars is way too high.
