It’s all in the implementation. I live in a high cost of living state so my house might appear to be in a higher overall percentile. However it’s an 80 year old starter home, so I don’t think it’s reasonable to subject me to a mansion tax.
Too many of these attempts to tax the rich don’t seem to take into account how expensive some places are and hurt those who are not close to wealthy

Whatever it costs, old or new, is what they’re talking about. It doesn’t take into account whether you think your house should be valued where it is. This isn’t a valid criticism of the article.
