Correct, and since an overwhelming majority of the voter base owns property (~80 % IIRC), property taxes will not increase.

Local currency, larger inflation than abroad, and lack of new construction due to regulatory minefields. Same as Czechia.

Because most people who had something better to do would skip and you'd end up being judged by a jury of people who had nothing better to do.

Small edit: as a non-American I sometimes envy your jury system. Here the outcome of a court case strongly depends on whether you get a happy judge or an 80-year old communist aparatchik who hates your tattoos or your choice to be gay.
