Local Homeowner Protests Rocketing Property Appraisals!!! (click title link to get the full Chronicle article)

From the Chronicle: Rodrigo Carreon, former FBISD school board candidate in '06, is appealing a 67% appraisal increase on his property in Fresno. Carreon has been a local community activist for years here in the Mo-City-Fresno area and has spoken out on issues of growth, taxes and schools. He joins 20,000+ others, including this author, in filing a record number of appeals this year.

Question: As the exponential growth in this area of FB county increases, how will this "anything goes approach" to development impact our property taxes (given the fact that there is no cap on appraisal) over the long-term?

-Is this sustainable for most families and homeowners who live here?

-What about promises for tax relief from Allen Owen, mayor of Mo-City, if we just keep growing the retail?

-How will high density housing options (like the excessive multi-family planned for the area) impact this mix?
