They buried the lede- they're going to adjust down millage accordingly so people will only be paying a smidge more,.if that.

I'm also not going to feel bad for Pete Sudak, who owns multiple properties. Fuck 'im.

My thought exactly. “Some of my properties…” FUCK OFF. Let people have ONE property!!!

People shouldn’t own multiple properties?

wagsman t1_je6ngzz wrote

He didnt say that. He said "fuck 'im" I would assume that in this scenario, if you can afford to own multiple properties you should be able to pay the taxes on those properties with whatever revenue streams you had to buy the properties in the first place.

It's not an unreasonable position. If you can't afford the taxes, you shouldnt own the property, sell some till you get back in the black, or increase your revenue somewhere to cover the cost.

Or be like most businessmen and lobby the (local)government to lower your tax rate so you are good.

Landlords are human garbage, but if you're going to be a landlord at least pay your fuckin taxes without crying about it.

So the government should own all properties? What would the solution be?

69FunnyNumberGuy420 t1_je5te53 wrote

I don't care what the solution is, I just don't want to see a social parasite crying about the tiniest social obligation imaginable. Dude can sell his properties and stop being a fuckin' parasite if he's that upset about taxes.

But you said all landlords are bad? If you are going to complain at least have a solution

Lol I’d take a good long look at this guys post history before asking for anything that approaches a nuanced (or even original) thought

My solution is Chairman Mao's solution, but in the absence of public will to do what needs to be done with the landlords they can at least pay their taxes.

Ahhhh you think the government should control housing. Big brain here

What, you think letting a bunch of parasites charge people 60% of their net income every month in rent is a better solution?
 
I guess it works out great for you if you're a parasite, not so much for everyone else.

So you think it's great to let parasites bleed people out while adding nothing of value to the economy?

 
Are you a parasite?

uglybushes t1_je60fzv wrote

I wish. Property ownership is a great way to build wealth. I think landlords provide a service for those who cannot afford housing. You could become a landlord and help others

"I sure am helping this guy out," I tell myself as I take 60% of his income every month for doing nothing.

What you make doesn’t change what you pay in rent. Have you tried find new employment that pays more or renting a less expensive apt. Or you just don’t look for solutions just for things to complain about

69FunnyNumberGuy420 t1_je61e8g wrote

I own a house. Doesn't change the fact that landlords are parasites who add nothing to society and should be shit on at every opportunity.

uglybushes t1_je61uio wrote

I’m so lost here. So you make up that you pay 60% in rent for a make believe argument. But in reality you’re a home owner. How many rooms are you renting out to help those who can not pay the high rent right now?

All I said was that I have zero sympathy for a social parasite bitching about paying property taxes, the argument is yours.

Um I don’t agree with the 69420 guy but saying go buy a home it’s not hard is nonsense. It is hard to buy a home. Property values are insane currently. Townhouses for 300k and such it’s nonsense.

You can start cheaper

johnjr_09 t1_je6g71k wrote

No doubt but even then… say ya buy a house for 120k. Your gonna need like 25k straight cash. That’s about half of your yearly take home if ya make 30 an hour.

You’re not going to be able to lead the horse to water with someone who, well has a username has 69 and 420 in it.

They’re probably recently out of college (maybe) and don’t have a comprehensive understanding of the functioning of the world around them, just yet.

Many Reddit posters are poorly-socialized, and have a hard time with social cues or understanding things like irony.

I'm in my forties. Also landlords are parasites, cope.

My brother in Christ, first off don’t feed the troll (unless you are one yourself)…but but why argue the position with ‘whataboutism’ and ‘pull yourself up by the bootstraps’??

Yeah it was kind of shocking to get the letter saying my house which was previously assessed at $26k (way low) was now in the 6 figure range (which is more accurate). But I knew they were going to adjust the millage before I got it so I didn't panic.

I could see this blindsiding someone who didn't know. And then the news interviews them because "taxes bad" and gets views/clicks.

hypotenoos t1_je7sndx wrote

It all depends. You have 3 different taxing authorities that have to adjust their millage.

For some there could be a big swing for County but not much for school. Others could see a big swing in school but not County.

It all comes down to how an individual property’s value compares in relative terms to the mix of values within each of those 3 taxing entities.

The line they like to throw out there is a 1/3 will go up, 1/3 down and 1/3 the same- but that is way oversimplifying things.
