The act of keeping a certain areas property tax low instead of a percentage of what properties around them have sold for. A grandfather clause allowing lower income people to keep current tax rate until their property is sold.

With the increased amount of people moving to Austin the state could benefit from a anti-gentrification law that allows homeowners who have lived there more than 20 years to keep their existing tax rate.

gentrification

Under equal rights with dynamic social classes, the massive improvement of a run-down urban area to the degree it is fit for gentlemen.

Thanks to gentrification, I no longer have to look at graffiti, step over urine and homeless people, and cling to pepper spray every time I walk here.
