[George from New England]

I’m not trying to get personal.

Can we agree that there are many more long time residents than new residents? So the vote is skewed to the majority whose taxes are capped. If you know the taxes are capped and that the newbies will be paying the bulk for your government programs where is the incentive to stop-spending.

Not your fault, but isn’t this is a form of socialist or elitism. Where someone else pays a bigger share.

Sorry to offend, I probably used harsher words than I should have. Greed is not appropriate.

Skyrocketing home values have made the tax cap inequity even more brutal for new homeowners. It is just as bad in California. I can't blame FL for sticking it to nonresidents, but it is unfair for young Floridians to be priced out just because they didn't buy a house back when they were in grade school.

FL needs to cut back on all the shiny new libraries and fire departments. The days of rolling in the property tax money will be over soon if no one is buying.
