Now I'd like to see a SCOTUS case on what I think is the most unjust thing about property taxes as we know them: If you buy a home for what amounts to all the money you could afford to pay and then gentrification sets in, raising property values in your area, your home is then assessed at a value you couldn't possibly have paid. That rate is intended to force you to sell out and is a punishment for not doing so. Your home should be yours for life regardless of richer people moving in next door and across the street and down the block who don't want you for a neighbor. Local taxing entities shouldn't be allowed to weigh in and shake you down on behalf of the newcomers taking over your neighborhood. What you pay for your home should remain the assessment until and unless you decide on your own to sell. Then and only then you could be charged a one-time tax on any windfall profit you made from the sale. If you choose instead to spend your whole life in the home you've had for years, that should be your right.
