> You’re saying that old people should be driven out of their houses because younger, richer people deserve to live in their houses. I’m sure your feelings will change as you get older.
Or maybe, make it so that property tax increases are limited but only if the owner:
1. Is past retirement age
2. The owner lives in the property.
3. The owner does not have the means to pay the normal property tax rates.
This is how most other States' solve this problem. Instead of freezing property tax rates across the board, they narrowly limit property taxes of old residents that don't have the means to pay the normal property tax rate.
What you're suggesting is that the solution to the problem should be targeted at the actual problem trying to be solved.
Seems like a lot to ask, so clearly the best way forward is to just continue shoveling more wealth onto the already-wealthy at the expense of people entering the workforce and housing market, and even then still not actually solving the original problem we sought out to solve in the first place.
