if you own a $2m home, a “punishing” 9% property tax increase would be $485/year. if you rent an average 1-bedroom for $2,800, the 2% allowable rent for 2023 increase is $672/year.

Medical practices are a safe place for children, youth and families to explore options around gender- affirming treatments. Children and youth have the right to the appropriate medical care, at the appropriate time, and this should not be denied to them.

I think it’s fine to tax higher earners more because after a certain point you just end up buying stupid things. Look how many yellow jackets I have. That could have gone to health care.
