That is NOT true. The local taxing authority will just increase the
rates to make up the required "inflated" budget.

People that get overjoyed about increases in the value of their primary
domicile are nuts. *It costs them money.

There I'll agree 100% with you. I've lived in my present house for 21
years and have no intention of moving and the last one 24 years.

I am glad to hear that you have had an income that allowed you to stay
put.

The average person moves every seven years...because of job change.

Most of those job changes are not voluntary.
