I'm not opposed to people paying their taxes, they definitely should, but I do think it's kind of a dick move to take the whole house if they don't pay the taxes. At least, for a relatively modest home owned by its primary resident who has no other home. For landlords and property speculators, though, 100% keep the property tax and use it to keep them from taking too much housing. Same for second homes, if you can afford two, you can afford taxes on one. I just don't think we should ever tax someone into literal homelessness.
I agree with what you’re saying in the sense that someone shouldn’t be gentrified out of their home.
An elderly person on a fixed, limited income shouldn’t see their property taxes skyrocket because their neighborhood property prices are inflated and then lose their home.
