Keep voting for the same politicians, and get this kind of result.
Vote blue!.... Lol..
Tell the MORONS who voted for BiDumb.
"Keep voting for the same politicians, and get this kind of result." Keep voting in ignorance for just a party, and this is the kind of result you get. The people need to get educated on what the politicians are doing on a local level. Who controls local taxes? Local officials. If you don't know who they are and how to talk with them, then it's your fault.
It’s dominion that causes the same people, politicians to get reelected. People voted for change but their voices were silenced by the corrupt machine.
Republicans run states are welfare states . For decades they have been the most impoverished in every-aspect.
Education, health care, homeownership , joblessness, ect . Take a look do your research. You want to call out socialism, it’s republicans that have made the states that way !
Republicans take all there money directly from the government. It’s a a game it’s an illusion they use to twist the truth so people who do not research facts think the trouble is with the democrats , when in reality sure high taxes are inflecting hardships but it’s also bringing independence of government . Making them stronger and more sustainable. . It’s quite the contrary how they call dems socialists when it is the exact thing the republicans are creating. . There pros at gaslighting the psyche of the people .
You never truly own your home if the government can tax you til you can't afford to pay.
Blame public services like police, firemen, garbage disposal, and the Founding Fathers.
@@Mentallect Please do some research. This is direct result of pension and social security. These programs cost way more than they bring in, driving counties into debt, because no politician has the balls to admit that these programs have failed and find it easier to pass the buck to future generations. Now, they have to do stupid shit like this to try and recover, and even that isn't enough.
@@l.b.603 social security costs money mate. When you don't have enough money you borrow, hoping that future generations can make enough to pay debt + interest (7-10%, usually).
When that doesn't happen you need to find a way to make that money back, because you are drowning in debt, raising taxes is one way to do it.
Raising income tax isn't a good strategy because voters don't like that very much. Property tax tends to fly under the radar, and is only noticed when it reaches the absurd level as it has in places like NY, NJ, CH, etc.
@@aardee175 The Social Security that people have had taken out of their paychecks for ALL their working lives has been raided by corrupt politicians ....Thats a FACT ....LOOK IT UP !
@@johannacannata1090 Never said that the politicians weren't corrupt. Even if we accept your premise, wouldn't it make more sense do away with social security and let people spend that money on their own, as compared to finding honest politicians who won't steal it and spend it on stupid shit.
$19,000 in property taxes for one year for an ordinary house that's absolutely insanity
Wide-eyed Biden: "It's Trump's fawty!"
@@GregMoress you are right, trump doesn’t care about real working citizens, only cares about the rich.
@@GregMoress There are enough places online where a reference to Biden would actually make sense. What possessed you to make this comment here?
@@angela-ti1np Oh, I didn't know the content police would be offended.
Well officer, I guess it's because the CAUSE of the $19k in property taxes is due to inflation, which Biden has stomped on the gas to inflate.
It's a cause and effect, and then my response is the Left's typical reply... they always blame someone else.
@@GregMoress And how did Biden cause inflation? Go ahead. Please explain what he did.
It is sad that the people, who have made these neighborhoods beautiful so that the city could even feel that raising taxes in such an area would be a lucrative venture, are being the ones pushed out.
Bucktown was just going mainstream nice in 2000. Tremendous change over the next 20yrs.
It's business not personal!
my grandfather always said no one ever truly owns their home. his favorite was "Don't pay those property taxes. you'll find out real quick who owns 'your' house."
Exactly, we all just pay rent.
That's why my husband and I haven't bought a house yet....i won't lie, with the influx in rent. It's ridiculously expensive, might as well own
he is correct
Lol I say that all the time!
@Bred For Battle Similar to some areas in WA state Indian owned lands. People buy condos on a lake front but Tribal lands with a 99 yr lease. So yeah, owned by someone else.
Raise property taxes --- raise rents as well -- raise homelessness.
Democrats like homelessness. San Francisco is proof
@Lise Duke you got that right !!!!
It works out nice for a few people.. they even have all kinds of statements to brainwash you into accepting it. Every time I raise a concern around here someone gaslights me and tells me to accept it and be quiet.. I live in a dog kennel..
Of course....How do you expect the government to pay for all the social programs😒 (Sarcasm directed at socialists).
Offer shitty welfare. How disgusting.
Nobody should have to pay property tax on a property that’s already paid off.
Bingo it's criminal not to mention it's private property. Blame barrios and his corruption
Exactly!!
ITS ABOUT TRYING TO COVER THEIR PENSION LIABILITIES!
You're a simpleton.
You mean the money they stole and keep stealing
True
if everyone moves out of cook county, then there won't be anyone left to tax. if these politicians had any brains, they would start to LOWER the property tax rate.
@@douglasscovil3447 I’ll put money on it looking like Detroit eventually
19k a year of property tax? That’s outrageous and criminal.
@John Public even if it’s done to keep the so called ‘undesirables’ out, 19k a year in property tax is still grossly overpriced. The average middle class person cannot afford that. Illinois is well known for being one of the most corrupt states.
Nassau and Suffolk counties have it worse

@@nathaliedaceus8654 And New York State as well as New Jersey. Just outrageous. I got the hell out of there over 30 years ago and left for Sunny Florida. My annual taxes on 1800 3/2 home in nice community with pool, tennis , golf etc are $2150 a year. 20 minutes to beach.
I don’t even live there and it makes me sick !
Me too, they can't enjoy their houses because they are stressed out over their tax bill.
@CJ DUNROVIN they get whats coming to them i have no heart for them they keep on voting the same people in hoping thing will get better stupid thinking they need to leave the dem party
Don't fret, it's comin to your town too.
@Ed shits been happening before u were born ur not saying shit new
I do 😰😰😰
Property tax means you don't own your property even after you pay it off, because you're still renting it from the government who can seize it if you get too far behind on taxes. Everyone should revolt against this system.
When blacks get equal treatment in this country then I might revolt with you
Well, people won't believe them when they say - You'll own nothing, and be happy - and then they're surprised when it happens. In the end they'll just admit that it was only a half lie - you won't own anything, and you'll end up sad.
Wish the media would do more reporting like this.
Sir, I think we have all become numb to this system that teaches us that it is ok to mistreat each other for glory, fun and material comfort.
You won' t see this on the national news.
Why? Properties taxes are huge for people outside of your socio economic sphere. Why are you so inspired by this video?
No one cares until it hits them personally.
Research shows that Illinois residents are relocating to Michigan especially to Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids and Holland city. In fact grand rapids has the fastest growing population in america, fastest growing economy and it's international airport is rated number one in the nation .no city tax in many of the cities mentioned too
It's funny: you can finally pay off your home and be debt free just to end up paying more per month in property taxes 30 years later than the original mortgage.
Ditto
Something is seriously wrong with that picture!
omg
You have to pay for the cops CORRECTIONAL court feds
My property tax is more than principal on my payment every month. Stop voting for democrats.
"No voter turnout" and who exactly are we gonna vote for? They're all the same.
One party is less stupid than another one, but, alas, I don't know what you need
This is happening all over the country.
Yes. My brother's family lives in west Philadelphia in a neighborhood that's gentrifying. They have been there over 10years. Taxes just doubled from 4k to 8k.
*Cuntry
The politicians use homeowners as their ATM machine.
I bet these are democrat run cities. Ohh but some people still wanted to vote for biden or bernie Sanders. What do you think they'll do?
My school went up,and they were.cryimg for more before the bill was due.all the tax revenue towns and cities have lost were screwed
IT BOGGLES MY MIND AS TO THE AMOUNT OF SHEEPLE WHO BLAME DEMOCRATS OR POLITICIANS. IT'S WHO IS PAYING THEM OFF THAT'S BEHIND THIS SHIT. YOU NEED TO WAKE UP THERE LADY?!
That because the homeowners allow it and still vote for corrupt politicians. Or they just don't pay attention to what's going on as the video states.
All of them including populists ones hyped by media. Bernie isn't going to abolish this anymore then AOC.
And yet, all same politicians will get re-elected. Congratulations.
Yup

That's when people are so passive they think they can live their lives without being bothered
My property taxes went from $1800 to $5000 in 18 years, small house 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. Taxes are going up about twice as fast as the value of the house.
Wow!!! This is ripping a new asshole for everyone 😑
Hey at least you can collect the bullets for scrap
I'm sorry for you, really. That's horrible.
The economy is crashing,so more money will be extracted out of the citizens.
Mother Britain requires her yearly cut.
@R Cruz Yes, politicians becoming rich, lobbists making the way smooth for corporations to make bigger profits which DONT trickle down to the lower workers and- i have to say this- also people who just dont want to work & prefer getting free stuff instead. Who creates the biggest money drain? Idk.
So even if your house is paid for you still don't own it.
That’s always been the case in the great USA.
@Nate Diaz Couldn't Beat a Rattata I certainly pay taxes on my house and they reassess the value of the house periodically based on improvements, addition etc. I guess you can’t comprehend that different states and localities do it differently.
@Nate Diaz Couldn't Beat a Rattata Nate you are wrong. They assess the house AND land value. And the assessment system in Cook county is intentionally confusing, to the point that homeowners usually need to hire specialized attorneys to contest the assessed value. It is a massive scam. In a red state, it is straightforward and simple to understand the value and contest it. Sad Chicagoans don't even realize how badly they have been shafted over the years. But they love their big government so they get what they deserve.
@@juicee38ful You own BOTH...not sure where this idea is coming from.

My wife and I (an ER nurse and Army veteran) purchased a home in Brookfield and the house was in terrible condition. Our property taxes shot up to $20,000 recently and we had to get a lawyer. Shit is insane man.
When I lived in Brookfield 1999 through 2011, I was renting a 2 bedroom apartment.

But people seriously refuse to look deeper into these news headlines and open their eyes, it's ridiculous... They'll find out if the keep pushing, then they're gonna turn to us and expect us to clean up their mess, when we've been telling them all along...

@@kphilli5 @Saorsa17 I live in south Georgia and yes I do believe they work hard for me, my taxes haven't gone up that much... I less now than what someone paid in the 80's for property tax... But more importantly they do not try to infringe on my constitutional rights, like the democrats are really pushing for these days... They also talk about giving everyone things for free Healthcare, free college, free money, free government benefits, these things cost money, which is exactly why Chicago's property taxes have went through the roof to pay for their pet projects... America is the same as Chicago just on a much bigger scale, and I'll tell you as hard as I work for my money, I will not give the government 60% of my check to give to people who don't deserve it... If people have the means and want to help let them but don't force everyone to do it... They will literally get more money than I do when I'm the one working 70 hours a week, how fair is that?

Well how else do you think they pay for all of the “free” food, utilities, transportation, lawyers etc etc for illegals??
Those who pay no taxes in Chicago have figured out that they can elect politicians who will raise taxes on those who do.
Exactly. Til every Chicagoan with a real job (not in government or education) and brain flees Chicago. The system will eventually collapse in itself. See Detroit.
Checkmate mate!
A simple solution is all those on public assistance (not including disabled or social security) should not be allowed to vote. They shouldn't have the ability to vote in legislators who will pass and sign into law free stuff programs, and "benefits" increases.
I saw this coming years ago. That's why in 2013 my wife and I sold our house in Chicago after our daughter went to college and moved to Tampa. Just tired of all the bs with the city. Taxes, city sticker registration,gas ect....... SMH
Please, please tell me you vote Republican, that you didn't leave Chicago cuz of Dem policies, then move to Fla and vote for people who'll do the same that dems do everywhere
Theres always the south and west sides that are cheaper
The whole state of Illinois is a racket with bad people in positions of power. I live here and my cousin in southern Illinois hunts so she has to buy: gun license, fishing license, picking mushroom license, deer hunting license, bow and arrow license and more. And every year she has to get a new license for all of this. It's all about the cities and states making money charging humans to do anything and everything. I think it is wrong.

Property taxes should be illegal
So if they want to defund the police but raise the shit out of taxes, where will all that money go?
I think their should be a freeze on ALL taxes until how the money is spent is transparent. Where is the money going?
Thank You!
I’ve been saying this for YEARS!
That’s too much unaccounted for.
We should have full knowledge of where out money is going & how it’s being spent.

Most of its going to give them a Raise so it’s going in their pockets
@@Bass2010 Plus the personal little pocketing that they don't mention to anyone outside there circles.
Raise the property taxes and the landlords will raise the rents to cover those costs. Homeowners and renters will suffer...
Finally someone gets it! This is why many renters get upset. They dont realize the property tax keeps going up and the value increases and everyone thinks the landlord is rich....(well the mom n pop ones aren't) so that gets passed down to the renter. Not everyone that try's to buy an extra house or building is rich. They are putting their necks out there hoping the chopper doesnt take their head off and they may actually succeed and leave something behind for their children when they pass away?
yep and the renters are the ones voting in the higher taxes thinking they will get free stuff out of the deal because??? they rent...short sighted
this isn't about renters. It's affecting the people who live in their own homes especially retirees on a fixed income
If they can raise the rents and still get tenants in why haven't they done it already? Are they capping the % profit they make to give the tenants a lower rent than they could charge (yeah right..). I guess they must lower the rents if they refinance their mortgage at a lower rate too (haha)
then the renters move away because they are being gouged, and there are fewer and fewer people living in cook county to pay the taxes.
In California in the 1970's property taxes were getting so high retired folks were
being driven out of their own homes so we passed prop 13. Sounds like Cook
county need to take a look & do it too.

Fire these crooks
Property tax is a reminder that you don't really "own" your home.

Yeah. Imagine going to a store and buy an item. Come back and be charged tax again for the same product.

This reminds me how I had to pay 3000 pounds a year on a 5000 pound car, for insurance. And if I were to get involved in an accident, I'd have to pay 5x more than if I just fixed it myself. So basically 3000 pounds for absolutely nothing... or else I'd have my car stolen by the police and my driver licence revoked. How is this not extorsion?
Ya, I left Chicago in March 2018 - one of the best decisions I've ever made.
As much as people are paying for property taxes, it should be the cleanest city in America. But it's nothing but garbage strewn everywhere.
I drove my cousin to Addison street and Pulaski and it was incredible how much garbage was on the roads. Enough to fill a landfill.
Meanwhile, here in California I just paid my $12K property Tax bill. And I'm an old guy 60+. These taxes are criminal.
It's the same in any democratic run city or state. They're criminals, not to mention murderers, they're so proud of supporting due date abortion and partial birth abortion..And Bidens going to raise taxes for the whole country to enjoy.

Not seeing the problem you voted the crooks in and you got what you voted for
@Real Talk Really? Have you ever looked at taxation in a state constitution? If you did, could you show me where "sales", "excise", or "use" tax is permitted? Constitutional taxes can be for natural persons and corporations. But, the "governments" are working under artificial laws unless the people prevent that, they consent to being governed by them. Go look at your state GOVERNMENT CODE and see the corporate government. It is actually a monopoly that is forbidden by the Constitutions. The state TAX CODE is a law for corporations. Go look at the original intent of the Legislature, probably back in the 1870's or somewhere around there. Or look at the "multistate Tax Compact" that is most likely in the TAX CODE and see what is defined as a TAXPAYER. The courts have already said the just because natural person pays rent, or even collects sales tax, you are not a taxpayer. If people don't understand that stuff, they don't need to be blaming some fraternity for the problem because that is ignorance on the part of the one who does not know the difference between a constitutional government and an artificial government. No offense, but your idea is a myth. But, I do agree that it does not matter who is president. It is the people who are to correct the government. Take care.
@Real Talk I can agree with that. People just don't like getting out of their comfy zone.
@Real Talk im across the pond in the uk. we have council tax which all have to pay on property, owned or not.. if you cannot pay for whatever reason they will send a bailiff round so it costs you more money you don't have. it's crazy. a bill (just for example) could be 500 pound but after a bailiff visit it goes up by 100% at least. it then goes up after you get more visits. what is the point of the dream life if it remains just a dream. ya can't win bud.
@Kevin what's sad is you believe that property tax and predator home loans have stolen a lot of black and white people's home
@Real Talk president has nothing to do with property taxes lol!
This is like buying your house over and over again. How is this legal?
The focus should include not just the property taxes, but how the delinquent taxes become liens sold to 3rd party investors who then foreclose and evict residents. Cook county IL, Rochester NY, Hartford Ct... the lien foreclosure system has destroyed countless lives. The deep truth of the matter is disgusting.

Dump? You've never been to Chicago.
I wrote an essay on this 30 years ago. The crux of my essay was that in 50 years the poor will be forced to move back to the country as the wealthy will get tired of commuting. The poor will be living in suburban mansions that have been divided into small apartments just as the huge mansions from the 1920s in the city were. Looks like I hit a home run. The only difference is that there is no longer any manufacturing in the cities. The manufacturing is now in small towns with very high wages.
High property taxes and then since 2018 the IRS caps your property tax deduction at $10k, which is a joke. So now the Feds tax you on money you don’t have.
Does that mean 19k tax bill is really 9k and the city has no sympathy because the city expects the federal government to reimburse citizens

Rev.Wright
Poor people end up paying more than double for property taxes. For example, a senior or person on disability who only has $1,000 income per month will pay, at a minimum, for an old, broken down, tiny little house, $3,000 in property taxes per year. That's 25% of their income!!! Now compare to a house that pays $20,000 in property taxes, but the owner makes $200,000 per year or more. Even though the taxes are higher, that owner would only be paying 10% of their income or less. The poorer you are, the heavier the burden to own a home. This is a mind-bogglingly outdated system that everybody should be up in arms about.
If you still buy property in Cook County, you deserve what you get.

All anyone, including myself can do is focus on that god awful jacket. Seriously never trust anyone in that jacket unless it's her.
Lmaoooooo. She’s so smart though, I agree
And Papas has been in it since the 80s, left the city that no longer works, that's sad.
$19,000 yearly property tax. And it's a surprise when people leave the state?????
Blackrock. Single family homes out. Apartment buildings and rentals in. You will own nothing and....
We need to bring back “no taxation without representation” for the working class.
That makes no sense. They’re being represented
Quit voting for the same representatives over and over...
That makes no sense. Those RAISING the taxes ARE representing those who are COMPLAINING, because those who are complaining KEEP VOTING them in, OR, as the video state, are NOT VOTING AT ALL!!! Do THAT math.
VOTE
@@Mari-lv1rd No thanks, I have been for years (I have been nonpartisan since age 18) and there are never any non partisans on the ballot and the two that are are "the lesser of two evils"... I quit voting at the 2016 ballot. Never again, walking my ballot to the box is a waste of that 2 minutes. I could get more done chewing gum.
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked rule, the people mourn. Our time of sadness has begun (Prov. 29:2).
I'm afraid you may be right
Thanks 😊
Amen!
I'm not religious, but what you said is true.
It will be okay.
She should be fired for wearing that outfit.
Got to pay all those union worker wages and pensions and lefty programs, right!
The saying ”No taxation without representation!” never sounded so real
Well Jaelen, most people have no representation. The rich and poor have representation but not the folks in the middle!
The leisure class are voting themselves the money that other people earned.
@Jit Kidd you're stuck in a two party paradigm. Left or right is irrelevant.
That's how Rome fell I believe.
Smh these people in office are out of control...come on Americans Its time!
We left Chicago for Indiana three years ago. Found a home the same size , half the price, and half the taxes.
I'm doing the same. How has it been since the move?
A tax collector advocating for less taxes and powerfully.. I never thought I'd see the day, and I applaud her efforts.
19k a year in taxes is 1583.00 a month, that is a house payment here in Ohio. Why on Earth would anyone pay that amount of money to live near that shit hole of a city.
One Reason ignorant.
USA is a big country.
Move to America.
Ohio cities are much more shit holes
I won't say where I live but my house is worth like 150k or so and I pay about 1000$ a year in property tax.
A little less my wife says.
A lot of it is exclusionary...people don't want to be near the poors
I moved out of Chicago to a neighboring state to escape soaring crime and property taxes.
I now have the same size house as I did in Chicago, 25x the lot size and pay a fraction of the property taxes I did in Chicago Crook County.
Get ready to be in government housing, have an EBT card and ride the bus. That's where we are headed.
Happy with my little 2 bed in the burbs here.-.
I voted no on ALL property taxes
The people of Cook County brought this on themselves by blindly voting D.
Lower voter turnout, but record votes? Huh?
Well the political machine will vote for you!
It’s a mental disease, if it’s not working keep voting D
Wrong. Property taxes aren't on any ballot.
The Party knows what is best for us peasants.
I suppose you know nothing aboutOperation Silver Shovel, and all the shenanigans of Mayor Daley, the Chicago PD and the wonderful leaches of Chicago, nothing to do with the ideals of democrats, just crooked people taking advantage of power!
When you vote liberal you get what you vote for
This is why I just finish building my house In mexico next to my my moms house. Ima pay 200$ a year on property taxes. Too expensive here
This is happening everywhere and something needs to be done about this crap.
Well the degenerates in Chicago keep voting for this crap. I hope they get the full extent of the BS
Research shows that Illinois residents are relocating to Michigan especially to Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids and Holland city. In fact grand rapids has the fastest growing population in america, fastest growing economy and it's international airport is rated number one in the nation .no city tax in many of the cities mentioned too
@@MichiganUSASingaporeSEAsia And then they think they can vote for the same idiotic policies and then in 10 years will have to move again.
Socialist and unions, you voted it in plus all those Democrats
About paying taxes?
Beginning of the Great Reset, Tax you until you have nothing.
They almost shut down an orphanage in the 70's for back taxes, it was bad then.
Those buildings have something else in common many of them are almost empty! Which is even worse !
Soon, there will be ghost towns with homeless ghosts wandering around. 😠
🤣🤣🤣
When you tax people to the point to where it stops them or prevents them from their pursuit of happiness then it becomes unconstitutional
This is the best argument on this subject!
Unless you rent your properties, there is no positive money flow in owning a home. Also why would you own a home, if you go broke you go homeless, the same as if you are renting.
Regarding Chicago, maybe it is doing its residents a favor by making them move out, thus keeping them safe from the warzone it became. :(
That's disgusting....the tax payers need to protest!
Near the end he said “Low voter turnout...”was partially responsible for this. Can anyone say voter FRAUD?
Low voter turnout in a year with record voter turnout. They really think we are stupid dont they.
Don't you people get it yet? Of course they're going to raise taxes. How else can they afford to give themselves a pay raise? Sarcasm aside, this pisses me off.
It's irresponsible spending and budgeting. "oh we need to give more benefits, so more property tax. Income tax is too lenient of the tax base, plus they want it lowered for some reason.. But now our schools got no funding, take it from the pension funds. No pensions? federal bailout. What trump is cutting of federal funding due to our crappy management?! He is a fascist dictator!"
Why are we paying property taxes? Why are we live in the system? Take everything from us we shouldn’t even be paying taxes. This is the old game. Let’s get with the new one property taxes out.
This is currently happening to Me in Ashtabula County OH - My Mom died 2009, I was named as executor, 3 months later I was removed as ex, - reason: I allegedly did not list a Estate owned vacant lot for sale, yet I instructed the R.E. Broker to forward listing paperwork to opposition lawyer. I was removed as Ex. a subsequent hearing was scheduled at which I was presented with a copy of the new appraisal of the vacant Estate owned property, appraised by the same appraiser as Myself! On the cover of the appraisal was the same photo used when I had the property appraised several month prior. In front of the Magistrate that removed Me as Ex, I pointed to the photo and stated - See that Caldwell Banker for sale sign ! that is the sign that proves I had listed the property for sale when You removed Me - NOTE: this was proof provided by the opposition and ignored again by the Magistrate just as previous proof was ignored. ( The Judge was being poisoned with antifreeze by His, Nurse, wife at the time - He lived : ethyl alcohol is the antidote to antifreeze ). This was only one of many bizarre instances of blatant denial of the facts. 2 years later after which the property could not be sold ( 2008 -2009 G.F.C. ) I was offered the property at no offset to any distribution and I accepted in writing 2 ways including registered mail, but was instructed to sign a blank page in acceptance, I refused. The property remains titled in My late Mothers name as of today. The tax collector wants Me to pay the back taxes on the lot, however the subsequent executor of the Estate having received almost $100K in Estate cash neglected to distribute it and was dismissed by the same Magistrate without transferring the vacant lot nor was there an accounting of the Estate !!! WHAT !!! Did I mention that the opposition Lawyer as well as the Magistrate and likely Judge were, allegedly, socially alcoholically associating with the opposition? This is only a portion of what I can only describe as racketeering.
insane...
This is property theft. How many people have already lost their homes? Sickening.
Sue the local government officials that are responsible for this increase in taxes.
Problem with that is corrupt court systems and judges will gladly take your money knowing they’ll rule against you and again you’ll still be left high and dry or maybe low and wet.
It's to pay for illegals...
Yeah. Good luck with that 😂
Or, recall Them, and quit voting these dysfunctional liberals in Office !!!
One word: M O V E
There is a lot to say about California but one thing they got correct - Prop 13 put a limit on property taxes and only allows a small increase each year (but when sold the property taxes are based on current value of property).
She is so arrogant-basically saying “you peasants should not own property” and that’s exactly what people will do -they will leave-all part of the plan of the great reset-you will own nothing and be happy.
