If you pay 1% for one house, someone with 2 houses should pay 2%, and a company with 2000 homes should pay 2000%
That would make it increasingly difficult for mega companies to buy up everything and torture the housing market

You nailed it. Funny how easy you picked up on certain details.
I didn’t know the lottery thing was that bad. The main issues with the proposed change is that they’re closing schools down, so the funding will likely go to some bullshit. I mean they used 55 million on fixing the stupid stadium under the guise that insurance and FEMA will reimburse the costs only for them to move to Tampa anyway—good riddance. And another fun thing I saw is that Article 3 will add in funding to fix the sewer systems… which I already pay every month with the crazy water bill. And the cheater part, yeah they don’t care. I fixed a machine downtown and the couple said oh yeah this place only cost 1.8 million. So of course the city is happy to turn a blind eye. So I’m okay with services being funded but not giving billionaires tax payer dollars for a stadium; that’s dumb and really everyone should get a refund on this expense. I got a lot of down votes on reddit for this opinion but it’s like if you love your baseball team so much, you go donate and leave me out of it.
I think it’s a split, likely 50/50 between “other alternate more cost effective school options” which amounts to paying parents to home school or paying private schools by the state, but at a lower rate than state schools and with even worse effectiveness assurances than the public schools if you can even imagine that to be possible. The other 50 is going to go to all kinds of grift while the property tax payers aren’t looking at how the cost of schools (on their tax bills) is dropping.
Funny, a big problem we had in schools when I attended in the 70s/80s was sports sucking up all the funding, new money going to a football stadium instead of fixing the wet roof that filled the high school with mold spores - I had chronic bronchitis for 4 years, coincitentally only while school was in session, only while I was attending in that building - never in summers, off to college? Miracle cure.
Oh yeah, didn’t change when I was in High School. The football field held all the priority. Yet my last year, you had to pay to participate in sports… Health class was held in something that looked like a dark prison cell.
