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

    they’re closing schools down, so the funding will likely go to some bullshit.

    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.
