Almost everywhere it has climbed too fast this time. Even Memphis, where I live has way too high housing prices.

Cities love this because they can adjust the value of your house to make you pay more tax. I know several people renting that their rent just keeps going up and up IN MEMPHIS.

Getting rid of 25 million people will cause a lot less demand for many things!

Every State should add laws that cap your home value for tax purposes at your purchase price / assessment at that point. The only way the city/county/ISD should be able to raise your taxes is by passing a tax increase. Otherwise, they should be able to survive on the income level they know they have.

Of course, I'm not a fan of property taxes, but I don't know how else local governments can raise revenue. Maybe 100% on the our homestead, but everything else gets taxed!
