I imagine the VAST majority of the generational locals have no issues with property tax hikes.
I'm assuming property taxes in Louisiana are different than in Texas but here in Dallas the property taxes have gotten way out of control and are absolutely a problem for people who have been in neighborhoods for a long time.
My house has nearly doubled from '14 to now and that's w/me protesting it down every year. I can't even imagine what spikes that like that do to somebody who has been in the neighborhood for decades. The pandemic actually helped out b/c they accepted the estimated value I came up with w/o making me prove my homes value was less than their estimate. I'm sure they are going to balloon that the frick up this year though so once again I'm going to have to go down to city hall to bicker with a bunch of assholes who will probably base values off magic numbers that are being artificially pushed up by giant development groups who are buying everything up so they can bulldoze and build ugly arse two story monstrosities that take up so much of the lot they don't even have back yards anymore.

It looks like his house is assessed at something like 200k.

You aren't wrong.
There has been a large struggle with property tax increase being a burden on longtime residents. A couple laws have been passed to try and help.
Imagine your house increasing from less than 100k to over 700k despite not doing any improvements and barely doing maintenance. That is a reality for some residents.

While I understand your view, it isn't always a great thing for a resident. Especially if the only way they can access that equity is to sell and leave everything they know.
My neighbors have lived in their house for 150+ years and have made the statement that the next owners likely won't be family because of the necessary capital required to make it a home for the next generation.
Tough situation for them.

If you've been there for decades, you shouldn't still have mortgagee. Boo fricking hoo if you can't afford to live where you are. It is not society's job to pay your tax bill, at least no one is doing that for me.

And, these were the same Orleans Parish residents who have been bragging for 20 plus years to those of us living in Jefferson and St. Tammany Parishes how their $700K-$1 million homes were only assessed at $100K and how little they were paying in property taxes vis-a-vis those of us in those neighboring parishes.

I knew what you meant.....I just wanted to be picky
I dont feel one bit sorry for anyone that has had their house re-assessed to market prices after being under assessed for decades and getting away with paying close to zero property taxes.

Yeah, you can say that about Lakeview and Uptown. But, in Mid City, those houses really were worth $75-100K pre-Katrina and for about 5 years after Katrina. And, if the out-of-town liberal hipsters hadn't gentrified Mid City after Katrina, the houses would still probably be worth in the $125-150K area. But, thanks to the liberals who think these people want to be their friends, their houses are are now assessed at $350-600K and when you apply about a 1.5% property tax rate, they can no longer afford to pay that amount.

For these people I think they were old enough not to have to worry about the property tax increase for a couple decades. Some sort of property tax freeze or whatever, not sure how that works.
I've seen this happen before in rural areas where family farms had to be sold off because the area became less rural and the next generation didn't have the means to buyout the other family as well as keep the farm in the state it was in. It's still sad to see that happen.

Stfu bruh. If you haven't paid a note in a generation and suddenly your house is worth almost a million - the only thing you "know" that you have to leave is your house. You can buy any house on the market with a 500/month note.
There's only one type of person negatively affected by "gentrification" and it's renters and lower-end middle-class potential buyers who can't afford to enter the market.
Generational homeowners come out like gangbusters and get no sympathy for suddenly increase their net worth to a level they never could imagine.
