Real estate tax reduction in the City

Instead of
helping qualified homeowners pay their tax bills, as the relief program does,
the city would put any tax increases resulting from higher assessments into an
escrow account payable upon the sale or transfer of the house. The homeowner
would use some of the profit from their home?s appreciation to pay off the
account.

This idea may
have legs, proposed by Kevin Lynch – in the DP (no longer available)
