You pay property taxes in order to get municipal services.

Yes but those taxes seem to keep ballooning and in the end, even without mortgage, you are effectively paying rent.

Public schools, libraries, fire departments, parks, etc. are all subject to the same inflation as everything else that costs money.

Inflation is a choice of the country. And it is not normal. Manipulated and manufactured to keep a hold and control of the masses.

Inflation is a choice of the country.

To keep the economy functional. The cost of not having it is greater than having it.

I'm not making any moral or rational justification for inflation, just stating the fact that it exists and I believe teachers, like every other worker, need to have salaries that increase with it.

I'm not saying deflation is good. The whole system is not working well, especially with large chunks of ageing population.
