The fact that non-property owners vote on property tax increases is maddening.

THIS right here all day, every day.

ETA. Cue the poors who claim they pay property tax as part of their rent and deserve a gots. frick y’all. You are a property owner or you aren’t.

I've got to disagree. Those renters are also indirectly paying that property tax too.

I have a lot bigger issue with political subdivisions scheduling votes for tax increases during bullshite elections that nobody gives a frick about. That way, our supreme, wonderful leaders can get enough friends, family, employees, and the employees' friends and family to push the tax through while everybody else is enjoying spring break.

We are so fricking stupid, people.

Devil's advocate, don't crucify me. What about property taxes paying for services you don't use? Schools (no kids), emergency (never needed their services), etc. etc. Is there a better, more privatized way?

So how much has inflation changed the price of property in 35 years... why hasn’t that $75k gone up?
