通胀还有人管,银行不停地加息,有没有效果另说。地税那是年年稳步增长,根本没有官员想过让地税涨得慢一点,甚至削减地税吧。再加上即使多交了地税,公众服务水平也没提高多少,治安等问题还在恶化。越来越觉得这地税交得不值!

Vancouver property owners could see steady increases of nine per cent on their property tax bills for the next five years, according to a budget outlook report presented to city council Monday night.
The report suggests that in order to balance the budget and keep service levels where they are currently, the City of Vancouver would need to implement the nine per cent hike every year from 2024 to 2028.
For the average strata property owner, that would equate to an increase of about $116 each year. Property taxes for individual properties are calculated based on their value as appraised by B.C. Assessment.
The potential increase is a projection by city staff. The budget will likely go through several revisions before it's finalized near the end of the year.
Coun. Sarah Kirby-Yung said the increase is not ideal and the mayor's budget task force is reviewing the budget on a line-item basis to figure out where things could be more efficient.
The task force was set up to examine where city funds were being allocated after council approved a 10.7 per cent property tax hike for 2023.
