That’s what I was wondering since 350k of high 6 figures is more like a 30% increase…I could understand assessing at what it sold at to keep things simple for everyone, but don’t they use the original 1st purchase price and the new owner has to file for temporary decreases each year it’s under the original (1st) purchase price for resales?

I’m a new car buying fan…anyhow, an article on Yahoo/SmartMoney on myths on used car buying…especially now. It’s funny that the article said a used 2005 Focus used to be $5,000, but now, cost MORE due to inflation ($6,700) and other factors.

[quote=jpinpb]joe – if people want to default and walk, fine But as a renting taxpayer who did not buy a house that I could not afford during the bubble, I do not feel it is my burden to save banks or people losing their homes. They can go back to renting. They will not be homeless. This is the issue I have. I also do not think they are entitled to live for free for months/years.[/quote]

jpinpb – You’re putting words in my post if that’s what you read from my message above. No where did I state I support bailing out banks (which I hate) or giving people free rent or houses or even helping they save their house with our tax dollars (which I’m a payer of too).

If folks want to strategically default, so be it…they move out and rent, move in with family. That’s that. No need to say, “oh, you’re an evil person, etc etc etc…”

This is pretty interesting. Out of curiosity, do they do the higher assessment to raise more revenue or is it a power trip thing for the assessors?
