Not sneaky at all, but rather by design. Why should existing residents pay for new residents to move in? What benefit are new residents to them? In fact, many towns don't put the burden of maintenance on existing residents either, but rather make it up in special assessments and utilities.
- landryraccoon 8y agoWon’t the new residents pay way more than the old ones because of prop 13? I don’t see how there’s any way the new residents don’t end up paying more than the old ones.
- mmt 8y agoMaybe more, but is it enough more? Remember that prop 13 doesn't completely freeze property taxes, nor does it eliminate various special assessments and parcel taxes and other non-percentage-of-value taxes.
