True, so don’t buy the property if that’s an issue with you.
I repeat, absentee landowners have no right to set the tax rate for the people who live in an area.
All you have is the right to be treated like everyone else for tax purposes. You don’t have the right to tell them how good (or bad) their schools, streets, water and sewer, etc., have to be maintained. If absentee landowners, particularly those who own hunting land, could vote, they’d just vote down anything that raises their taxes, regardless how that affected the people actually living in the area.
Anyway, that’s the way it is, so apparently I’m not alone in thinking that way. You want a vote, move onto the property. Just be aware that living there might change the way you’d vote, which is the point.
they have just as much right as anybody. The tight to vote now s based upon 1 person one vote, but it wasn’t always that way. You just think it’s supposed to be that way. Had you grown up with property owners voting you’d be arguing my position.
