You should try reading the comments you're responding to. As I said, the city would not lose the ability to tax any property by delaying raising the value for a few years. The value would continue to rise. Ultimately, they would recoup taxes. Duh. 

My home is what I say it is, you presumptuous nit. You can live in a chicken coop in Nubraska, for all I care. I bought this place with 35 years of physical labor. I have to subsidize other peoples' kids, though I don't have any. I suppose you have no problem with that.
