I'm afraid you're barking up the wrong tree. Young people aren't being taxed out of their homes because of the tax freeze on the old folks. SCHOOL taxes are the culprit.

Just look at your school district and see what they've built. Then look at school administration and see what they're paid. Then look at all the personnel in the school system who aren't actual classroom teachers. All the Vice-principals and the Assistants to the Vice-principals.

Consolidation of school administration would go a long way.

May I add that I am not without sympathy for the young people making their way in the world of today.

I have observed that many however think they are entitled to start out at the level they parents achieved.

The difference between THEN and NOW is remarkable: It was unheard of for a teenager to own (or be given) a car when I was young. We didn't buy our first NEW car until our 40's. We didn't own a home until our late 40's. It's called "deferred gratification". Work, be frugal, save.
