    Ok, you are just opposed to houses becoming more affordable too quickly.

    That won’t happen. Some math geeks working for the government would have to work out the details, but these type of changes are always engineered to not disrupt markets.

    So what would realistically happen is that property tax rates rise by a certain percentage per year until the target is met. Property prices will grow at less than inflation, but won’t stagnate.

    What happened in 2008 was an uncontrolled subprime crisis that imploded, not the controlled introduction of a tax reform.

      Yeah the "make it progressive"solution just means a reversal whenever the party in power changes.
