Jackson County Director of Assessment Curtis Koons resigned Friday, taking responsibility for what he acknowledged was an error-laden 2013 reassessment process.
In a letter to County Executive Mike Sanders, Koons apologized to him, the County Legislature “and most importantly, the citizens of Jackson County for the mistakes that were made.”
^^^Are you referring to "flipping?" Where a person buys a house that's a bit run-down, fixes and modernizes it, then sells for a nice profit?
ReplyDeleteFlipping is a result of, not the cause of "gentrification." Nobody would pour money and sweat into a house in a neighborhood that is not on the upswing
Depends on how much money and sweat, some flippers are landlords who do the bare minimum to turn a buck.
DeleteThe new assessments are killing the sale of the many affordable housing units east of Troost.
ReplyDelete10:34 wrong, the negroes they selves are killing everything, the ruin everything they touch, killa shitty mayor and the all black leaders of Jackson county are prime examples.
ReplyDelete^^Ugh. Says the social leper who has nothing better to do all day...everyday! What's it like to lose in life?
ReplyDelete12:30 you tell us since you know all about it
ReplyDeleteThis is an attempt to break whitey, this only affects white people who own homes, the negroes don’t realize that the white landlords will have to raise their rent, pretty stupid on their part really.
ReplyDeleteAstounding how tense, hostile, unfriendly and unwelcoming place this city has become the past eight years to it's own citizens.
ReplyDeleteNice job Sly
^^and yet it's not at all. Weird.
ReplyDeleteWhat't this tax talk, amigos? And, don't be sweating about flipping casas! Coca is king, hombres.....until you're dead!
