    If property taxes keep going up, they become cost prohibitive.

    they will keep going up because for some ridiculous reason Oregon won't have a sales tax...but even with the cost of property tax...a bill you have to budget for every year..it's nothing like throwing away rent money with no equity

    We won't pass a sales tax because we know that they won't get rid of a property tax. They'll find a way to justify having both.... like.... "it's for the children!"

    I hope I don't have to deal with being enslaved by alien overlords so people like you can learn your lesson.

    Is it? Develop an area, the white man is trying to gentrify the area. Leave it poor, the white man is keeping the brother down. Nothing makes you people happy, take responsibility for your own life.

    People need to stop having kids, then 'they' won't be able to use that excuse anymore.

    Do you really think property taxes has anything to do with why this woman, Lakeisha ran down all those people? Or is she just doing her part to further the cause?
    The name Lakeisha suggests she maybe see herself, as of the tribe of Shabazz. Anyone see a clue here?

    I too was displaced from my modest Lake Oswego neighborhood as a young adult, mostly by wealthy black basketball stars who brought marauding entourages of gangsters and drug dealers, wreaking havoc with the greens at Oswego Lake Country Club and scaring little old ladies out of Vip's Diner. Why can't they stay in NEP and keep dviss happy? Why do they not see the allure of squalor and decay?

    When you lived in Lake Oswego it was still called Sucker Lake and basketball hadn't been invented yet.

    My friend in Dallas, TX, which has a total sales tax of 8.25%, is selling his home for about 2/3 what mine would sell for right now, and it's assessed at about 2/3 what mine is assessed at.

    Despite paying sales tax, which I do not, his property tax is a whopping 45% higher than mine.

    Close. Oswego Creek was still called Sucker Creek. Lake Grove was considered a separate city in many respects.

    "Authorities say the woman suspected of crashing into pedestrians on a Las Vegas Strip sidewalk was stoic when she was arrested."
    Stoic and meth seem right?

    "The FBI is involved in the investigation."
    I shouldn't think the FBI would be needed if it were a simple meth case.

    A so called drug recognition expert said she wasn't drunk but appeared to be under the influence of a "stimulant"


    Whatever crazy shit she may have yelled doesn't mean shit.
    You can see her forehead in her mug shot. Meth.

    She doesn't fit the poor white trash stereotype but she's from Portland. I saw meth zombies in Vancouver the first day I was visiting in October of 2014. We crossed the 205 bridge at 9am and stopped at the Walmart right off the freeway.

    There were 2 junkies in the parking lot stumbling towards the entrance. They sat on the power scooter and plugged in their phones to charge them.

    It was weird to see more druggies in Vancouver than Las Vegas.

    Any truth here?

    "This was an act of Islamic Terrorism, perpetrated by an Islamic woman driving a car with a three year old child inside, who INTENTIONALLY rode onto the sidewalk to strike innocent people. Police, however, have been instructed by their superiors to NOT use the word "terrorism" in relation to this incident, because Las Vegas does not want tourists to be frightened away from the city."

    http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3375241/posts

    "One blog, SuperStation95, did report the woman screamed “Allahu Akbar,” while driving into the crowd, but that information hasn’t been substantiated by police or reported in other media outlets."

    What a asshole. She wastes a beautiful mother and leaves her husband and child devastated. She deserves a pit burial with head exposed and fire ants released upon her

    They should have both. I do believe that the property tax should unbind itself from the value of your home. That's the reason why it keeps going up. Home values are going to continue to rise.

    There lissome straight up racism in this thread. If you are one of the offenders, regardless of if you are posting it cause you believe it or just to get under dviss1's skin, it's gross and something you should feel ashamed of. Makes me feel dirty coming to these forums some days.
