Normal TLDs like .COM, .ORG, .CO.UK, .FR and so on have stable prices.

Massive price inflation seems to happen with new or trendy TLDs, where an initial $5/year can become $50/year or more.

It seems like once someone owns a domain there should be a limit on how much the price can go up per year. Where I live, property tax is done this way to prevent pricing people out of their homes as they age. Property taxes are reevaluated whenever a home is purchased by a new owner.

With domains being a digital home, it seems it would make sense to have laws in place that would treat them the same way.

Given how expensive property is in much of California, I'm not sure that's the model to adopt.
