So lets all be accurate. 15 houses on Picozzi's street. 7 properties showed an increase in tax base totaling $140,000.

8 properties showed a decrease in tax base of $50,400. The houses on either side of his house went up $37,500 and $20,400. His went down $5100. The net gain in the neighborhood was $90,000 in tax base.

Compare that now with the Winslow neighborhood which has been decimated by construction and loss of homes. Virtually every property showed a tax base increase on average of $13,000. If for any reason you don't think that the tax base can be manipulated in favor of certain people, I got some swampland to sell you.

The neighborhood across from the Library. Neighborhood is 57 years old, mostly seniors, very few homes have been updated. Every house went up over $12,000.
