No, they can't move bananas. There are hundreds of homes with "for Sale" signs in the City. Once the tax bill is calculated into the escrow, a mortgage payment more than doubles.

Not many people are looking to move into a high tax, high crime City.

Smokey.....you seem to be doing some 'investigating reporting'...........how 'bout investigating what the cost is to re/build those GREEN HOMES in the high risk areas? How 'bout comparing the cost to re/build to the sale of the home. And even when they sell these homes......the folks can't afford the taxes.

If your 'investigative reporting' doesn't show a loss............you my cyber friend are being hoodwinked!

And I'm sure all would agree that the folks who can't sell their homes and continue to live in the city should be commended for trying to make a change for the better as opposed to skipping out like the city/county workers have and still do!

Depends on what you mean by "people." In my book they are woodchucks and lowlifes. You are getting productive citizens moving in, very few anyway. Maybe one out of twenty.

You can give your house away ( quit claim ) .   We did this many years ago- it was a very smart decision-  think about it-

Well I wasn't a legislator, but who am I prejudiced against?
