Is there a correlation though between city expenses and property values for large moves in property value?

Just because property values double doesn't mean the cost of pothole repair doubles?

Pretty much must be, because the city is spending the money on something. If the city isn't using the money on something essential, they could reduce taxes.

Might be a struggle to get tax reductions past the voting public. But I think a bit of political elbow grease could get it done.

So the City should reduce total taxes by increasing property taxes?

That's semantics at best.
