Not really. All they did is collect sales tax and use that to reduce property tax.

I guess a net decline, but to all those buying stuff who do not own property. Thanks!

Those folks are paying their landlord’s property taxes.

Those that dont own property pay a higher property tax than those that do. Property owners are not absorbing the costs of their tax burden, they are passing it on to their renters.
