Quote HistoryQuoted: Can someone dumb it down for me A new state assessed tax on anyone who owns a home or business/commercial property when the assessed value of that property is at or above $300,000. So in addition to local property tax, one would now have to pay (if bill is passed/enacted) what is essentially a state property tax on their property. It probably also will incentivize (somehow) the state to push town property assessors to inflate the value of the property to generate more tax revenue for the state. I'd wager they ran the numbers and found that most homes and commercial/business property in the state is above the $300,000 threshold. Renters who think this won't impact them (because they're sheep) are going to be shocked when their rents rise to cover the new tax. It also will drive up prices across the board for everyone as businesses pass through this tax to their customers. |

I believe they’re calling this a luxury home tax. Not sure when a 300k assessment came into luxury territory

The assessment value is usually less that the purchase price. So probably anything over 450k will get taxed as well as businesses. It's Still not right.
I wonder if they will take Sikorsky's cock out of their mouths and tax their buildings. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: And we all know that amount will never get adjusted for inflation over time so the number of homes being taxed grows every year. That is the plan. Pass it as a luxury tax. Within 10 years it becomes a middle class tax. In 20 years it is a tax for every property owner. This is how income tax worked. Less than 5% of the country had to pay income tax when first passed. |

I read an article how they own like 20 percent of the land in newhaven and they have a huge tax shortage. |

To be fair, New Haven's fiscal issues are only partly on Yale's tax-exempt status. The city is broken, and going into a -$66M hole this coming year.
That's not just Yale. That's union negotiations, puffed up contracts, pension obligations, massive overtime within the Fire Department (who respond to ALL EMS calls for some reason), COVID impacts, terrible real estate decisions (like selling land for $1...), etc. New Haven needs to declare bankruptcy. Sen. Looney has been pitching a larger share of PILOT and taxing the rich to help New Haven, but New Haven is in such a shitty state (pun intended) largely due to self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the head and heart. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Or Yale University Yale is just one part of New Haven's problems. The rest are all self inflicted by current and past New Haven; mayor's, alderman's, various committees, boards and commissions. They've all conspired to drive the city into the ground. They're trapped by their Democratic ideology and by having to pander to Democratic voters and neighborhood power brokers in order to be elected/reelected. |

I'm not a fan of Yale for a variety of reasons but without them New Haven would be an open tire fire. Years ago there was a plan, a very advanced plan, to move the entire school to land they owned in Litchfield County instead of investing billions in New Haven to redo what they had. It was actually cheaper to build a brand new school. Obviously, they decided to stay and I'm glad if only to preserve a huge part of the history of the school and city. But imagine if they had left. Could businesses have moved in and reshaped the city without Yale? Sure. Could I be hit by space debris when I go out side? Sure. I believe it would be a disaster. I always thought Hartford was worse than New Haven. Not anymore. They are both poorly run, crime ridden dumps. Sad actually. |
