“How can you make that fair?”
You can’t, but you can make things fairer.
One group might get much more police protection, but that same group might have half of its members dropping out of high school.
I’ve tried to make things quite fair and fairly simple.
You may think market value is simple, but my house has never been sold in its 39 years.
The county assessed my neighbors’ house as if it was in an exclusive subdivision a few years ago.
There are two houses for sale on my street. The asking prices are about $30,000 to $50,000 too high.
OK, true. But I'd like to see MORE black kids graduate from high school... so that trade-off doesn't work for me.
