Government was riding on this! "real estate tax had risen from about 6k to over 21k per miserable annum" The skyrocketing in real estate means government had been gorging in RE taxes in the past years! Now RE tanks affects government coffers. In Brazil cities collect only two taxes: RE and service taxes (services=hair cits oil changes...) All other money they get are transfers from the state and federal giovernments. If US follows something long these lines means a hard time for cities.
