      If the property tax scales with inflation and social security is also adjusted for inflation, but your property tax is getting more expensive relative to your social security income, something’s not right.

      I understand that housing prices are outpacing general inflation… that’s kinda my point.

        A big part of why housing prices are outpacing general inflation is constrained supply due to long time homeowners paying artificially low taxes.
