And to be honest most "homeowners" I know either 1) mooched off mommy and daddy while saving. 2) got government grant through HUD etc to buy house. 3) had direct help from mommy and daddy.
Being a "homeowner" is not some big accomplishment. For some ppl it makes sense. Others not. Getting tied to a home in early 20s would have been a huge mistake for me.


And when taxes go up. Rent goes up. My dad has a rental. And you better believe taxes are a component of what is charged.


Are you 1,2, 3, or all of the above? Is your list in order and you really know more people who get grants from HUD than help from their mom & dad? I wasn’t even aware of HUD giving direct grants to individuals to buy homes, but HUD buying programs through state, local, or non-profit always seemed too often to be either borderline fraudulent helping those who didn’t need it or section 8ish.

Rent might go up because your dad as owner is the legally responsible tax payer who is required to pay those taxes and decides to try & raise rent when possible factoring in market and remaining time of current lease to cover increase instead of eating it. When lease up and price increases The tenants can agree to higher price or decide to move on. Either way your dad will be the one receiving & paying the full tax bill including any tax increase for months under an existing rental agreement & pricing.

Yea but they are not the legally bound tax payers. You can almost say something similar for income taxes paid and other expenses by any business based on income from products or services sold to consumers as part of the money received from consumers is going to be used to indirectly pay business’s tax bill. Consumer would not be on the hook legally to have to pay whatever taxes business owes from taxable income earned from sale to the consumer nor can they claim the amount as taxes paid by them. Money earned by people or business which help pay their various taxes through the year creates a lot of indirect tax payers if one wants to play that game.



Hence the “in a well functioning market” bit. Yes, consumers do indirectly pay taxes. Economically, it’s no different than any other increase in the price of any other input.

The landlord’s ability and willingness to endure tax or insurance uncertainty is just another form of cost of capital and risk tolerance.

Your direct approach is contrary to what every orthodox economist the world over will tell you. In aggregate, renters pay for the property tax and insurance. Landlords pay for the inherent uncertainty risk. That’s a key difference.

Price per square foot isn’t fluctuated or increased by property taxes or insurance rates.


Oh yes it is. There are legions upon legions of studies on this not to mention entire commercial and personal real estate firms whose entire business is centered upon that very notion.

I’ll say that’s relatively at odds with my experience. Is there an explanation? Ie was it in a high risk flood zone or something?

That group has quite a bit of hair south of the border, and some stench. Call it a hunch.

Full disclosure, I graduated from JHS in ‘91.

If you are surprised that JHS found a “loophole” in the code, then shame on you. Because of that, the out of town hippies should be fighting the City Council about the wording in the law.

It is a safety/security improvement. Not to mention a traffic improvement. All it takes is one person in their electric car to bump into and bruise a student, and that one lawsuit will dwarf the cost of the bridge. This is a no brainer.

As far as checking IDs prior to entering the Council Meeting, would you want someone from another area dictating to you how your neighborhood is to be run? Of course not. Again, a no brainer.

Taxes....who cares. The renter often has the cost passed on to them. But, if the house/apt. Is unoccupied, the owner is liable. Done.

Chalmette Owl - i was raised in Metairie. Parents paid no Orleans P taxes. Why does this matter?

Hippies cannot call JHS racist. Jesuit notifies individuals of their acceptance into the school, THEN worry about money. Jesuit has their own finance office, thus plenty of flexibility when it comes to money. I know plenty of kids that worked in the cafeteria (for example) to work off tuition. Bottom line is that if you qualify, they will work out the money. Regardless of color, where you are from, etc.

I think I addressed the majority of the spew in this thread. I am going back to work.

Who gets sent the tax bill? Who is legally required to pay the tax? Owners/tax payers take the Risk and have the legal responsibility over duration of ownership not the renters. My “direct approach” is just calling the ones directly & legally responsible to pay the tax the actual tax payers. Of course like any business revenue generated with sales to customers is going to help pay other expenses including taxes (and mortgages but also not going to call consumers or renters the ones who are responsible for paying mortgage as that’s also the owners), but the customers are not the ones legally responsible to pay the businesses’ income taxes or property taxes nor can they claim to have paid them as part of their own tax filings.

(It is painfully ironic to consider how this private school project flies along with such speed, while public school children in our community continue to be neglected. I could cite safety issues at Jesuit’s next-door neighbor, Esperanza, or the pitiful state of the rickety Lopez Street Bridge which Warren Easton students used for years to get to their practice field. I have to wonder, what are our priorities?)


Say, Bart...is public $$$ being used for the Jesuit not-bridge? Private money = no bullshite red tape or bidding process.

Your lament is an acknowledgment of the inherent deficiencies in the NO Public Works department and the procedures for construction/maintenance of public infrastructure.
