Impact analysis
This could mean tax relief or grants for long-term homeowners, though it might require shifting the tax burden elsewhere to keep city services funded.
Long-time residents who are currently being squeezed out by skyrocketing property taxes will finally get a fighting chance to keep their homes.
Newer residents or developers might face higher costs or stricter regulations if the city shifts the tax burden to fund these protections.
