> Early adopters bought their way out of taxation

I wouldn't phrase it that way because it's not what they did, even if decades down the road it turned out that way (it could well have gone the other way like it did for homeowners in Detroit years ago).

What they did was buy a home they could afford, based on monthly mortgage + taxes payments, which is the entirely reasonable and responsible thing to do.

Having the property tax balloon out of control and out of any conceivable affordable range due to actions of other people in the area, is hardly fair.
