High Interest rates replace high prices?

[NeetaT]

I hope interest rates skyrocket. If a 10% interest rate means fewer people qualify, this should hasten the downturn.
I would rather own a $200k home at 10% than a $400k home at 5%. This just means lower property tax which is an overwhelming burden to homeowners.

NeetaT,

I love you how you find a way to weave property taxes into every conversation….people usually don’t consider this on going expense…

“people usually don’t consider this on going expense…”

Yes, I believe you are correct in your assertion. People seem to be apathetic towards the subject of property tax, maybe because it’s out of one’s control. If San Diego or any other municipality can justify the need to spend two to three times what they spent 5yrs ago, I will listen. But I must confess that if you do the math, there is no way that much money is needed to fund a city. Give the property owners a break and let them spend the saved money on other things. If I were to buy a house now, I would possibly be paying more tax than my neighbor who bought several years ago all for the same sub standard services. I realize that very few people share my view including my wife.

NeetaT, I completely share your view.
The services were getting are certainly not proportional to the increase in property taxes we are paying.
