Before it's over a lot of people will wish they had a government job.

RE:"Not if you are in SOH for a while. Small print says they can't go down." Humm. What does it say on that? People who have homesteaded lately can't get a reduction in taxes even if the value of their house drops?

Eventually, as housing prices fall, taxes SHOULD go down. Not if you are in SOH for a while. Small print says they can't go down. I don't feel the same about local government... I think they do a good job and it's part of why property values are high. Are you in Tampa or a suburb?
