>Why should they have to pay more just because someone else paid a lot for the house down the street?

Similarly, why should I pay more year after year because I remodeled my kitchen and painted the walls? My house is still the same size and still hosting the same number of persons. Can you imagine a BMW paying a higher toll than a Toyota?

I think if towns can shut down public schools along with other services that benefit only a specific group of people, then taxes can be assessed fairly on lot size, property type, number of inhabitants, registered vehicles etc.

This way, when you get you tax bill, you will know exactly how much you pay for services like police, fire, public works etc.
