My .02. I won’t ever vote favorable for a property tax. If the government can come take your land and sell it, then you don’t actually own it. That just grates me. It also allows people without skin in the game to increase my tax burden.

Jeff parish residents pay a tax to JPRD and then JP fills up the rec leagues with Orleans kids who pay a waiver fee equivalent to about a 250k assessment. That is how much the lots cost near Pontiff and Lakeshore playgrounds.

Is this true? I know some kids from lakeview and lake vista play in JP but is it really a widespread thing? The playground in Lakeview is extremely full.

Definitely true. About 50% Orleans at Lakeshore and 40% at Pontiff if not more.
