Default Disagree with how assessments work

I have to disagree with this reply. An assessment is assessed on everybody. The more houses the more assessments to cover any additional costs! You don't need to raise the assessment to cover the cost the fact that there are more houses and more assessments should cover the costs. If there is a need because of inflation to increase revenue it would never be at a 300% rate! Just like all governments they need to work within the means that were set forth at the beginning. Increasing an assessment 300% is ridiculous!
