My landlord has been in her house since 1947. She regularly calls the city to bug them to trim the palm trees in front of her house and her latest campaign has been to repave the street (she lives in University Heights and honestly, the street is in pretty good shape. The city filled the potholes after the big rains two years ago).
She rails about “I pay property taxes and this is what is due to me” and… her prop taxes are $640 a year. Her property includes a house, four rental units, and two rental garages (she keeps two others for herself). Point taken with the above post about how incredibly skewed property taxes are from lot to lot.
I don’t see my neighbors calling the city to complain about anything, they are too busy working three jobs to get their mortgages paid.
