I'll see you, and raise you one.

Allowing non-property owners a vote is a mistake.

I like the idea of land, or at least home owners voting. About 15 years ago my county built a new school. Many millions of dollars which meant raising our property taxes, of course. Many of us land owners voted NO, don’t build. Yet it passed. So...low and behold RENT went through the roof in some place, and up everywhere so the folks who owned the apartments could compensate the jump in tax rates. Take a wild guess who complained? Figure it out yet? Yah, the renters. Why? Because the rich apartment owners can “afford it”. Ugh! Can not win for losing in this fight.
