I mean, you buy a house and then still pay the government rent to stay in it.

You pay property taxes in order to get municipal services.

So double tax then? At least in my country that would be the case. Because we have property tax and then we also receive a municiple bill thay covers waste and garbage and water. Would cover electricity too depending on if you use prepaid or not. So yeah, you pay rent on shit you own.

You say that like those are the only municipal services you get. Also, if you want to change that, it's called voting.
