Those advocating for raising properhty taxes should have plans for unintended consequences. For example, many Pima County homeowners have lived in their homes for decades and their property is now paid off. The kicker for them is that now their property taxes and insurance, due to rising home values, is more than their mortgage payments were. Property taxes are a barrier to homeownership so let's be careful when considering raising them.
If property tax raises were solely for affordable housing i might support it. Its when they throw in cops that i object.
I wonder about increasing air bnb taxes? As a past air bnb owner, i was convinced to turn the guesthouse into a rental purely based on the community's need for rentals.

Appreciated the useful summaries about each candidate and enjoyed the sketches, a nice change from candidate photos or selfies!
