Doesn’t bother me. I’ve lived in my home for 15 years and my taxes have barely budged. Better than that my INSURANCE has barely budged (I have no idea why).

These people are paying the same if not less in property tax than their previous out of Florida house. Do they even consider what they save in income tax?

And the best part of it is is that if they live in THEIR house for 15 years like I have they can be making out like bandits too!

If I sell my house tomorrow and get one for two or three times the price I expect to pay property tax on that amount. Where the hell is the surprise? Or is it just class warfare?

Oh, the Florida constitution isn’t that easy to amend anymore. Takes 60% super majority! (Thank God).

Um, many of them were born and raised in Florida (see the comment about people's parents in the article) and are trying to move from renting to owning. But the "I got mine" people who bought when values were low and still have low taxes are happy to cut these people off at the knees and make it that much harder for them to buy.
