i remember Brandon Johnson tried to raise property taxes, after lying and running on not raising them, and the city council told him to go fukk himself. 50 to nothing
these dark blue areas need to realize that the city doesn't exist to keep government employed; if you can't make your budget work, then you cut fukking spending. you can't just rape middle class taxpayers to protect bullshyt ass government spending

it ALL gets passed on. whether you own your home, or the landlord's passing on the taxes via your rent
