As News10NBC has reported, some homeowners have seen home reassessments increase by nearly 100%. Uniting & Healing through Hope is concerned that the reassessments could make the city unaffordable and lead to a real estate collapse. City officials ay the reassessments are based on market value and sales within the neighborhoods.
