LACONIA Tax Increases

[Woodsy]

Trackeer...

Your logic is flawed and anger misplaced... It is not about the haves vs. have nots. I pay the same $21.03 per thousand (a little less than 1/2 of your tax bill) on my 1000ft2 condo. I get the same lack of service from the city you do. My condo is worth a lot less than your waterfront home and it will not appreciate in value nearly as much as your waterfront home... because its just not that desirable.I have no waterfront, no dock & no view. (I knew this going in) Your home value and thus tax bill is driven by your peers and what they have paid for similar properties.

If you are going to be twisted.. be upset at the people who drive the property values up...

Sorry Woodsy,

I'm not twisted, I'm a realist, anger I'm not, but perhaps that is something you should consider as your reference to those outside your boundaries as flatlanders, that happen to be ones supporting the Laconia System.
I have no problem with property Increases, forget the lame comment about Tax Rates, in this case it means Nothing, in the three years we've owned our Waterfront Estate it's held fairly steady, now the City decides to come along and revalue it at 30+ percent more than the previous year, hmmmmmm.
I believe in this case you make the case that the rich or better off than you can afford to pay more, sounds like serious Socialist at work there.
