Income tax is a different story though - and remember a massive percentage of people don't any any property and therefore have never paid a cent of property tax (me!)

If you have a very low paying job (or no job) and therefore pay extremely low income taxes, you still get fantastic healthcare!




If you’ve ever paid rent, you’ve implicitly paid property taxes. The sustainable, market rate for rent factors in all costs of the owner.


My understanding is that setting rent is more related to what people are able to pay than the underlying cost structure of owning a building.
