Are we on the brink of a tax revolt?
Manage episode 430561762 series 3555189
There’s something unusual happening to property values in Seattle right now. As housing prices continue to climb, the value of commercial property is taking a big plunge. The County Assessor warns office buildings will be worth 30-40% less next year.
This is a historic shift. And it will have impacts on the cost of living for all of us.
That might not sit well with people who are already feeling the effects of inflation and high prices. Joshua looks at the downstream effects of plunging commercial real estate values, and what might happen at the ballot box this fall, as a result.
