I also get upset about how much I put into property taxes and yet get to see few if any return value. I own several rentals, many of those tenets have kids. I pay the property tax where they live. Thus I am feeling highly fucked and it really hits home. They have the kids, they have no vested interest in the neighborhood, yet I not only pay tax that mostly goes to schools, they get all the benefits. We have some bad pot holes on one street I have a place, they never get fixed and it starts to make the area look or feel rundown. Which will eventually effect my property value. I will keep paying those taxes and if the place goes down hill, oh well I will just get lower class people with even more kids. Drives me nuts.
