I’m definitely not rich. My property taxes will now be $18k a year and my mortgage principal and interest is less than $900 a month. I can’t afford this.[/quote]

Sounds like you got in at a very low cost-basis a very long time ago, and your property value is now $1.7M? Is this correct?  To be honest, at $900 a month you should have been saving A TON of money, putting it away for a rainy day.  Only reason you wouldn't be able to afford this is if you are on a fixed income and retired.

Nope, bought a couple of years ago for $850k. Our income doesn’t support paying an extra $6k a year, but it does support the current rate and the expenses we budgeted for (plus reasonable increases).  Our property taxes are already the bulk of our housing costs and we planned for that. We didn’t plan for a 40 percent hike. You are showing your privilege by assuming that anyone not paying very high housing costs must have plenty of spare money to save.[/quote]

So rent out your garage spots, drive Uber, do Instacart why should our children suffer. [/quote]

Huh? Why do my property taxes have a bearing on your children’s suffering? If your children are suffering I suggest you do something about it![/quote]
