On the other hand, the extra few hundred dollars a month that people who are currently poor or disabled are playing in property taxes so that elbow park resident and their neighbours can pay 8000 less is real money to them now. Some of them have health and disabilities too, and they don't all have parents leaving them a million bucks.
If we're going to subsidize, let's pick actual poor people, not hypothetical disabled children of low income seniors in multi-million dollar houses.
