Imagine the house you live in is worth $250,000.

And imagine paying "asset" taxes on that $250,000 home even though you still live there.




Thats...not unrealized cap gains tax, at all. That's property taxes and is a real thing to home owners. My tax bill grows every year bc my home gets assessed at higher values


isn't that literally what property taxes are?


But but does the gov't pay you if the house price goes down?
