So far so good actually. The City relies mostly on property tax revenue which is holding up quite nicely. So far.
Wheeeee! I dunno, I gotta call this out. Even if property taxes are flat or even up this is like telling someone that has been unemployed for the last 8 months that all is good because the stock market is up!
There's still an optics thing. Just looking at website it's $130 ($170-210 with wine pairing). Call it $150-200 range. Looks kind of bad to be dining out at a restaurant that's $150-200 a plate while also telling employees they need to take a 20% pay cut. If it's an anniversary or whatever, okay, but if it's just a normal Tuesday dinner and it's occurring all the time, yeah, it's an optics thing. Maybe don't dine out at $150-200 restaurants five nights a week while the budget is so bad that the regular employees need to have their pay cut by 20% regardless of whose money it is. Not saying he has to eat off the McDonald's value menu, but finding a more reasonably price restaurant might be a good idea.
Exactly! For disclosure, I ordered the Cafe de Paris steak on take out last night. That plus the keiki Chicken for my dog was $50 plus a generous Holiday/thanks for the take out menu tip. Am I posting pics of my dinner to my tenants? Yeah, no! I'm a landlord, not a politician but I have enough sense to not flaunt my hard earned wealth.
I just checked online and tax assessments are still showing 2020. Do you know what day they update this? Or do they come out in the mail first and then update on the website later? I believe they are usually received by around this time but I have not received anything in the mail yet.
I agree they will likely jack up the valuations after a slight drop between 2019 and 2020. More importantly, many homeowners of rental property will be "upgraded" to Class A, dramatically increasing their tax rates. It will be a windfall for the city and will make life easier for Blangiardi...
I just noticed today the new 2021 tax assessment is now online ... at least for my unit. My assessment has actually dropped a little bit this year.

Got mine in the mail. Waikiki condo DOWN 12%. I think they are just throwing a bone to the owners. DH condos up 6-8% but my beach front condo is UP 18%!!
I don’t support the furloughs. But what if the bill isn’t signed?
