it is pretty bad that citizens who have lived here their entire lives (born and raised) are continually paying higher taxes to accomondate the people that cotinually move here! A DEFERAL IS A JOKE!Give the citizens a real bill, give life long residents a break!!!!!
What is the definition of "lived in continuously" (how many years). And since you receive the same services why, due to a length of time, should you pay less.
