Are there statistics on the kinds of homes in foreclosure? In other words, are they mostly $200k homes? Or $800k homes?

Where I live, I just got an assessment that said my home went UP 12% from last year. How is that possible?

I live smack dab in the middle of Los Angeles. From the front of my house I see the downtown skyline to the left and the Hollywood sign to the right.

My home value has gone up each of the last two years. Not a lot of homes go up for sale but they sell fast and at good prices.

My guess would be that it's easier to up the value then to raise the tax.
I see it as a shadow tax hike. And nobody will complain when re-election comes around.
