High property values are an excuse to tax people. If you are the ten percent who are property millionaires; it is the equivalent of having Old Kent Road in Monopoly, the one percent have Mayfair, Park Lane , Bond Street Waterworks, unities jail and are constantly re-writing the community chest and chance.
