Again, people **choose** to pay higher property taxes than their neighbors when they **choose** to pay more for the house. It is completely voluntary.
Take into consideration full PITI payments, and then decide if you’re willing to buy at that price. What your neighbor is paying is irrelevant. If you don’t want to pay higher taxes, you need to refuse to pay more for the house. If everyone did this, there would be very little discrepancy.
Again, we have a SPENDING problem, not a revenue problem. We need to take care of that problem well before we start asking people to pay higher property taxes.
