Agree with you 100% - home ownership allows government to put the shackles on you. Parking fees, wheel taxes, special assessments, property tax hikes. I'm pretty sure that even if you rent, part of your rent goes to pay for property taxes that are charged to your landlord. Thus, ALL housing costs go up, not just for those who own houses.

But only if all taxes go up in parallel. If one taxing region (city, school district, county or state) decides to jack up taxes, it is far easier to move if you rent and leave the landlord stuck with the decreased property value caused by higher taxes.

It’s easier to move away from property taxes when you’re a renter - to another town or county or much further away.
Renters can play the market. Owners are largely stuck - especially these days.
