I wonder where you're getting the $75/year figure from? Is it from the sponsored endorsement that WW posted that claims the average home value in Portland is $176k? Because that's a patently false number. Taxes on our home already go up $200 every year and this measure would raise them by an additional $170.
Came to say the same thing as seaforanswers up there. Where does this number come from? Is the average assessed value of a portland home 176k? That sounds wrong considering that the average home value is 394k according to Zillow. As a homeowner, I have to vote no. It's not that I don't want to see affordable housing built, but the city has a track record of wasting money on their building projects. Also, I don't see honestly why it should be incumbent on struggling homeowners to fund these projects. Why not the developers who are actually benefitting from these insane housing prices?
