The cause is irrelevant - the point was that property taxes are so high

What?
What the fuck is wrong with you? If the cause (the property being fucking absurdly expensive) is irrelevant, how can you determine that it's the taxes that are too high?
Holy fucking Jesus you just won gold in the mental gymnastics.

You're pretty fucking illiterate today, dude. Read my first post in this topic and your response. The point was that people are being taxed out of their homes. In other words, taxing people more to pay for goodies is not the sustainable path to anything, as evidenced by Illinois.

It is irrelevant what reason there is for tax increases. What is relevant to what I said is that it is not sustainable and that tax increases are not the answer to everything. You could make universal healthcare the law and then say "well, taxes went up because we need to pay for healthcare in the community hospitals!" but that wouldn't answer whether or not the taxes are too high. When people are literally losing their homes because their tax obligation went up 100% or 200% or 250% in a single year, that's a problem. This is happening even when property is not "absurdly expensive"
