Remedy?

Go back to where you had to own property in order to qualify to vote.

[IMHO]

Property taxes are as American as Main Street.

Yes, forcing people to pay the government "rent" on property they own is reeeaaal Amerikan. Who is the dip that wrote this and why in the hell do we put up with such oppression?

The remedy is simple a tax cap of 1% with a maixmum value of $100 square foot that way nobody gets penalized for remodeling and having a nice house and cities don't get raises for creating shortages. The only way municipalities could get more tax revenue would be to allow the building of more houses. But then there would be no housing shortage and no "needy voters".
