The whole thing is completely counter-intuitive.

Communities become more stable (require less police activity) when people own their own homes.

Local government should be promoting and maybe even incentivizing home ownership.

Instead they do the opposite.

Sometimes taxation legislation is passed because the voters will tolerate it -- not for any logical reason. Lots of property tax legislation was passed when the majority of the population was renters.

Time to revisit some laws.
