But what about a large hit on your property value, and significantly higher taxes on top of it? Would you accept that?
"Compromise" is fine, but the problem is that basic things we urgently need to do in housing, health care, and labor require significant taxation to keep inflation in check. We don't need to balance out all of the spending, but we need to balance out some of it.
These things will cost high income suburbanites like you and I a lot in both the short and long term. They have to, because that is where most of the income and wealth is being concentrated. I personally don't mind if my house depreciates in value and if I get crushed with lots of new taxes (once my kids are out of day care) because I can afford those things and I didn't buy my house to make money off it.
We're beyond the point where things have "compromise" solutions that only mean a little bit more gets skimmed from people like us. I can guarantee you that most people like you and I, especially ones nearing retirement, will not take a significant hit to their wealth and/or income, no matter what it's for, because the interest of most people like you and I lies in making money off our homes and keeping most of our income.
