    "You'll own nothing and you'll be happy" , well , it's looking like the plan is in full swing. First they sent real estate prices out of control , now they're going to do the same with property taxes.

    @denesbastos2001 5 місяців тому

    They should increase more this property tax and eliminate the double landing transfer taxes. It would make it more fair with other municipalities, also with lower property taxes, it benefits more the rich that already has multiple properties. The city relies a lot on millennials trying to enter the market, taxing them more, than taxing who has benefited from low property taxes for decades

    • @DummMoney-rr1fi
      @DummMoney-rr1fi 5 місяців тому

      it benefits the renter actually, the landlords place rents based on making a profit. If costs are less so are rents. No one seems to get this lol

      @@DummMoney-rr1fi As a landlord I would charge as much as the tenant would pay, the tenant will pay what they are able to. If you have your property payed off, you wouldn’t charge less because of that. If that was the case, every property in Toronto would cash flow because the landlords would rase rents accordingly

      ​@@DummMoney-rr1fi This is ridiculous. It's more of a profit to risk calculation. Landlords will charge all they can expect to. It has little to do with expenses. What benefits the renter is having more options, so landlords actually have to compete.

      Real estate taxes are not identical to property taxes. You should be clear on the differences. Real estate taxes should be tied to service expenses, not tied to home prices. Some cities are using increasing real estate values as a windfall opportunity to increase revenue. City governments are not for-profit corporations.

      ​@DummMoney-rr1fi doesn't really matter if its inflation or taxation - people have less money in their pockets and their quality of life decreases because taxation doesn't make their lives better. Nor does it save the environment.

    • @DummMoney-rr1fi
      @DummMoney-rr1fi 5 місяців тому +1

      Less tax equals more money to spend. Lower rates equals more money to spend. What do you think is going to happen in the near future? Def lower rates, maybe lower tax if PP wins

    • @dylanc9174
      @dylanc9174 5 місяців тому

      ​@@epictetus3406Thank the tories who sprawled Toronto and made infrastructure and services cost more.
      If the city is running a deficit running things normally it means costs are too high. Toronto doesn't get enough tax revenue because of how terribly managed the land has been over 70 years.

    • @dylanc9174
      @dylanc9174 5 місяців тому

      ​@@DummMoney-rr1fi You don't understand how to run a municipality. It is quite evident that this was inevitable across Canada. And it is happening across Canada. Cities cannot afford their infrastructure because they don't get enough tax revenue per km of land.
      Density is needed, or else services will be run to the ground, or the citizen will be taxed away.

      When you cut transit you get less people taking it, more traffic and more costs. Transit makes cities money, and keeps everything running smoothly.
      You aren't an expert, so of course you don't understand the monetary value of services.

  • @robertw3299
    @robertw3299 5 місяців тому +3

    I guessed we were going to get a rate increase but not 16.5%. Toronto City Hall needs to look for efficiencies by twenty percent per department. this means lay offs if required.

    • @dylanc9174
      @dylanc9174 5 місяців тому

      Instead of running the city to the ground as you suggest why doesn't Toronto work to actually make services more cost efficient? Toronto suburbs are sucking the city dry. They need to pay up, or get developed so the districts can pay for their services.

    Historic mistakes of keeping property taxes very low are hurting now. Toronto is running on old infrastructure which needs upgrades. Adding to that the city is giving a lot social work to help poor people which would obviously cost more.

    • @dylanc9174

      I worked hard for 30 years and yes over those thirty years I've added a few properties. In fact when taxes go up rents go up in lock step. Tenants don't want to be homeless, if they don't pay that is where they end up quickly. Unless they are happy to live with mom, on a couch with friends, share a room or sleep in their car; guess what? they will pay@@geoffreyhigginson5290
