I understand the sentiment, but some of it is necessary, when the city provides services including running sewer lines to the curb, electricity, telephone and cable lines. Also the capital investments for roads, maintenance equipment and so on, and the people who keep all this physical infrastructure running smoothly. Not to mention the police and firefighters who are there to prevent property damage or alleviate or quickly stop any property damage (and your life).
If you live in the middle of unincorporated land in the boonies, then property taxes are truly unjust, because what you pay via income, gasoline and other consumption taxes should cover the things you use.
- dzhiurgis 4y agoPoor city planning and downright regulation is what causes those property (and maintenance) costs to rise in first place. Gov is literally controlling supply (planning, permits, inspections) and demand (immigration, interest rates). Whats even more ironic is social housing tends to not be built to the building code or maintained to safe level aka gov fails their own regulation. Where I’m at gov makes you pay for future infrastructure like drainage they might install someday even if you make your own system!
