Impact analysis
Roughly $900 more per homeowner — possibly $20 million citywide if all 22,000 homeowners saw the same jump.
The city budget benefits from the added revenue; residents currently see only the higher bill.
Homeowners paying sharply higher tax bills while, in Mr. Love's view, services decline.
