You may be aware that I had requested from the City the decrease in assessed values in the WRA by virtue of demolitions. I had heard that it was a decrease of $2M. I kept pressing the City for the info, and after 3 months, Reidy called me to discuss. He said that I would have to do the analysis myself and that they would make the materials available to me. He said what I asked is too time consumng for the assessor. I didn't want them to negate the decrease by market increases. I don;t think what I asked is so complex, and quite frankly, if I wanted to do it myself, I think I could simply use what's available on line. I don't think it would be that difficult for the assessor and it is something the city should already have a handle on. In fact, more importantly, Reidy said the analysis is complicated because the actual decrease is over $7M! He said that the assessments on waterfront properties that were tax-exempt under city ownership were unrealistic and too high. They were not changed when they were sold to Partners and subsequently they had to be lowered. That's the City's story. I assume he is referring to CH, Casino, et al. But come on, what about waterfront land as Oak points out? The land is under assessed, not over assessed. I had also pointed out to Reidy the taxes on various commercial properties that Oak also posted a few weeks ago. Reidy appeared to be shocked by the low taxes (relatively) on these properties an was going to look into it. We'll see. Yahoo!
