Reply to comment by MysteriousEarth356 in How much did your rent or property tax increase this renewal or year? by Awkward_Street1708

We need to build more housing and reform zoning to encourage it

I agree. Seems like the homeowners in my area are against the construction of any multi-family complex within a few miles of their homes. A developer recently proposed converting a small commercial complex into a 50-unit 3 story townhouse community and people around here protested at the planning committee meetings because they want to preserve their home values. Odd thing is these same people complained about how high their property assessments are for this year.

You should encourage them to find the ridiculous bloat in the town budget and Slash It™ in the meeting next year. That will solve their property-tax problem, if they want it to be solved.
