Soaring housing prices across the country are driving away would-be homeowners, something lawmakers in at least a half-dozen states are trying to prevent. In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has floated getting rid of property taxes altogether to alleviate some of the pain.

“Is it your property or not? Just for being on your property year after year, you’ve got to write a check to the government every year,” DeSantis said during a March 4 address. “So you’re basically paying rent to the government to live on your own property.”
