[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can county cap the increase of property tax to 6%?  With increased assessment value and tax rate in the county, it will help property owners to keep the rent down.  By the way, please also keep the increases on the labor cost and prices for everything at homedepots at 6%.  We will al live happily afterwards, including the renter, the property owners, the politicians, and the advocates.[/quote]

If Home Depot raises their prices by 50%, you can drive 10 minutes to Lowes. If your landlord raises the rent by 50%, it takes a lot more than 10 minutes to find another place to live, move, change your children's school, possibly find another job, apply for public assistance when you lose your job due to the move/commuting distance, etc. Also property taxes are a fraction of a property owner's monthly costs. A 6% tax increase does not equal a 6% increase in their total costs.[/quote]
Moco keeps the rental housing supply down, dummy.
The end game is the NY Community Housing Authority, which is [b]Soviet style housing[/b] with Soviet style service[/quote]

They would t care. Not worth anyone’s time. But you keep whistling Dixie. [/quote]

I am about to waste way too much time thinking about how a person would go about "whistling Dixie" about kommunalka.[/quote]
