The negativity here is astounding. Holy bananas. Do any of you do anything to help your neighbor or is b****** on Reddit the extent of your community service.

That stated, real estate taxes on the elderly are truly a problem. Especially for those on a fixed income, if the city appraises your property to a higher value, these can quickly cause an already tight budget to collapse. Folks can lose their homes or their kids will be stuck paying.

Have some compassion..

There are plenty of people struggling to pay rent with limited to no access to equity. If those people can't pay they end up homeless. Having a house to sell is a lot better than being homeless. The seniors in this discussion got a buyers market back in the day. Not sure why they should get it both ways. 🤷
