I disagree, I accept higher property taxes in lieu of income taxes because it keeps my money close to me where we need it instead of BR. There are plenty of states who have done this and turned their trajectory the frick around. It’s an easy case study and just the type of sweeping change Louisiana needs. I am astounded it’s not being fast tracked.

Property taxes mean that you never own your home. If you think you do, try not paying them.
Some bureaucrat gets to decide the value of your home, which changes every year, and you have to dispute it if you disagree. It's hard to raise income taxes or sales taxes. If you want to raise more money from property taxes, just increase the value on everyone's home. Some will dispute it, but many won't. I'd sell them my house tomorrow for what they said it was worth on my 2023 taxes, but it's not enough money for me to bother disputing it.
Plus, poorly educated voters tend to vote for increases because they don't think if affects them, and in many cases in doesn't very much (rent subsidies, Section 8).
