[QUOTE="Dove, post: 1316064, member: 535"] And when that 80 year old who bought that property 60 years ago before the community was even there cant pay the property tax anymore they need to get out....even though they have paid more in taxes than they paid for the house itself. Even though the taxes kept getting higher over the years and now exceed their income. So basically it wasnt even worth buy the house to begin with. No one is saying that people should contribute to the community. We are just pointing out no one actually owns their property. The government does. And if you rent property from the government you can lose your investment pretty easily if taxes get raised on you during retirement years. I dont not support property taxes being raised on people. They should only pay the amount that was required when they made the purchase. And people who have retired and paid in taxes as much as the price of the house....let them have that break. They already spent their entire life working and paying thier taxes. Its vile and disgusting when elderly people have to let go of their homes because they cannot afford the taxes anymore. [/QUOTE]
