Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) is asking Palm Beach County to tax Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property at the rate the former president claims it is worth amid his ongoing civil fraud trial in New York, NBC News reports.
Wrote Moskowitz: “Between 2011 and 2021, you value the Mar-a-Lago property between $18 million and $28 million. Mar-a-Lago was listed as worth $490 million in financial documents given to banks. If the property value of Mar-a-Lago is so much higher than it was appraised, will you be amending the property value in line with the Trump family’s belief that the property is worth well over a billion dollars?”
Ok, maybe housing crisis is not what I meant, but it sure doesn’t help rent prices. The more someone pays for a house, the more they’ll charge for rent. Rent prices can be kept down by not allowing jackasses to massively oversell their house to their buddy in a money laundering scheme.
Maybe it could be within a certain percent of the latest assessment or something?
I dunno I’m just spitballing an idea here. Someone smarter than me can figure out the actual numbers.
