In my state, property is re-assessed every 2 years (I believe) and our real estate taxes rise commensurate with the increase property value. We have a provision on the books for senior citizens on fixed incomes called "circuit breaker" law. That provision prevents low income seniors from paying the higher rates. But, it is means tested just like any other "welfare" program. So the wealthy elderly pay their fair share just like everybody else.

I can see how your real estate tax law would cause a problem in the normal supply/demand dynamic. It seems to me like an across the board rate reduction might open up the logjam. Has real estate tax reduction been discussed as a potential solution?
