Paying an increasing tax is not fair too. You don't get more services from higher tax, the city is just extorting more money because it can and because enough people think this is fair.
- ridgeguy 8y agoInflation is a real thing. I doubt we'd have any workers paid through property taxes if we were paying like it's 1955.
- Dylan16807 8y agoThe services cost more to deliver as cost of living rises. Cities don't usually have a profit motive, can you name cities in booming areas that you think are 'extorting' money and wasting it?
- AdrianB1 8y agoNo, no profit$$$, just throwing money on stuff that is either a way to siphon it or not the purpose for a city. Like you organize people in a city and instead of providing services like clean roads you do politics, social care, welfare etc (most cities in Europe spend more on benefits and welfare than on proper services to tax payers).
