They’re getting it from the homeowners...They’re taxing the sh*t out of the homeowners.
Don’t believe me, just look at realtor.com, the taxes of what a recent home purchase in OC is costing people...Some of these people are paying 400+ per month in property taxes. Do you think that’s reasonable Kathy?
Do you think it’s right to make people who’ve been paying taxes all their lives, to pay ever increasing taxes for property they own outright?
I dont understand your problem. Again, who do you think should pay for infrastructure and services, if not the residents who benefit? I’m sure you’re an expert on Prop 13 and know that property assessments here are capped until property is sold. Are you insinuating that homeowners are surprised when they receive their property tax bill? Or that people would prefer to live in an area with higher crime, lower education, fewer amenities rather than pay taxes to have those things?
I don’t have a problem with people paying property taxes for services that benefit their property. You still haven’t revealed your better plan for achieving roads, utilities, schools, public service, etc without property taxes.
