Has city taxation ever been reported or discussed relative to the mill rate increase?

From what I gather the media is reporting the mill rate increase. The property valuation has been determined.
The best way to experience it is to go down to the Assessment Review Board, listen to the people fighting the city and listen to the city. It's a real thing, people are beset and unfairly evaluated and the City is not reasonable about it, aggressive and powerful.
I for one would be interested in a legacy tax to protect those peoples properties that have actually increased where they no longer have the means to pay their share of the burden. The old 78 year old man in Inglewood who is forced out based on market value shouldn't be, repairing everyones bike in the neighbourhood. Maybe a clawback on his estate when he dies to the city/province.
It's a real eye opener.
