This is not true. There are many families who want to stay in their homes and neighborhoods but can't keep up with rising taxes as their property value increases. In addition to higher cost of living in general when many members of the working class don't even get a 3% wage increase annually.
Maybe you should spend less time dreaming up ways to gentrify the neighborhood and more time talking to real people who live here and have for years.

We're talking about houses that 20 years ago, were worth 40k and had zero property tax, turning into teardown lots worth 160 or 200k with a property tax of $1000 a year. Less than $100 a month.
People complaining about not being able to afford property tax are full of it.

Dude, just say you're too privileged to understand and move on. You've been in the area for a minute and you think you know what it needs? Like I said, you'd be better off actually listening to neighbors who are dealing with this but with that attitude I can see why they wouldn't want to chat. Have a good one

Lol fuck off. You're the one who thinks minorities are too dumb and too poor to afford property tax increases.

I didn't say a single thing about "minorities" or their intelligence. You're telling on yourself. Have a good one
