The discussion on raising real estate tax was begun as a possible solution to the crime problem by raising needed funds to help with this.

Voicing suggestions on ways to make an increase in property tax equitable are all good. Just voicing objections to raising the tax is not helpfull unless an alternative way to solve the problem is offered.

I personally do not feel any goverment could offer me the basic services I need with the revenue from the little tax I pay.

Put me down as someone not satisfied with just "getting what I am paying for" and willing to pay more to get services like a safe place to live.

I didn't purchase property and live part of the year in San Pedro because the taxes are cheap there. I want the other reasons I did to be preserved.
