Does the city honestly not realize that they are now instituting policies that will drive people out of the city? I have been a renter here for 10 years. With housing prices at such a low I had recently thought about finally buying – but with a 25% Property Tax increase, no long term master budget plan, and still no clear accountability and openness on abatement policies I would have to be insane to buy here now. I, and others like me, whom have hoped to make JC theior permanent home are starting to look elsewhere. This does not bode well for the city’s future.

I echo BCfromJC. I’m glad that you’re filing these stories. More people need to get involved in this strange, wonderful, awful city of ours.
