I’m 100% in favor of recouping the money via other taxes. My motivation for being against property tax on primary residences is my belief that if you own a single family home free and clear, no one should be able to take it away from you simply because you don’t have any money.

If you don't have any money, how will you pay for local government services like police, fire, roads, etc?

If you have a house but no money, I don’t think the government should take and sell your house to pay for those services. And if they did, you’d probably cause the government to incur more costs providing for you as a homeless person than it would have earned from your property tax.
