Some property owners may oppose it based on already high property taxes. In addition, renters may see a slight increase in their rent by landlords who own a considerable amount of property.

Uh, how about no? Don't bump my landlords property tax, only to have him squeeze it out of me. Listen, every generation has dealt with financial hardships. Apartments come and go. People carry student loans and varying types of debt for a long time. TV and movies tricked you into thinking you can graduate college and buy a single bedroom condo in the city and live in this make-believe reality you think you're entitled to?
