Well I don't know how long you lived there but say it was 1980 when you moved there, you would deserve to pay less in taxes then the people that moved there after say 2000 or what ever year there that assements skyrocketed in that area. If you owned a multi family house that would be different since you could raise rents but some us don't have that option. I've lived here since 1969 and I put up with so much bullshit it would make your head spin and now I'm being rewarded with high taxes. it's not my fault I'm house rich. Yes one day my family will sell the house and make a lot of money and if you want to charge them back taxes have at it. But I put up with a Somerville that would make most people here piss down there leg and run away and now I get to reap the rewards of $3 doughnuts and yoga classes and a tax rate that just went up 20%. Oh and I don't care what you're comfortable with.
