@grimoireghostie@ferald_gord The fact is 67 percent of Floridians Own homes according to the census. I do agree that home insurance prices are insane and should be also addressed. But this net Positive that helps everyone (poor,middle, rich) and I’m your proof as middle class. Homestead is ONE home btw
@grimoireghostie@ferald_gord 60% of homeowners home values are less than $250k in FL so it is LIE to say this helps only the wealthy. It’s actually provides relief to the working class. The bill also prioritizes funding to security, infrastructure, public education. Additionally a trust fund to poorer areas
@grimoireghostie@ferald_gord Then let’s be Honest. I pulled the data homestead tax pays only 7% on average of counties revenue, the bill would also restructure how taxes are spent to core infrastructure and services and education. The biggest problem is greed from corps and government. Do you live in FL?
@grimoireghostie@ferald_gord And in the rural area desantis said to support those area in the transition with the revenue surplus. So hopefully this is truth
@grimoireghostie@ferald_gord People owning their home helps all Floridians especially poor ppl who struggle with Increasing property taxes. We have a budget surplus that revenue can be used, Florida lottery was created to pay schools and safety, tourist have to pay more which may suck for you. But we’ll see
