In Venice, California, officials are considering a vacancy fee on empty residential and commercial properties. But what happens when a storefront is empty because rents are too high, customers are disappearing and businesses can no longer make money? We examine the economics behind vacant properties, rising commercial rents, crime, declining retail activity and the growing pressure on property owners. Then we head to Cook County, Illinois, where property taxes have increased for 32 consecutive years and local taxing agencies are seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in additional revenue. We look at rising property taxes, the burden on homeowners and businesses, declining retail, crime, government spending and the bigger question: when does taxation finally become too much? From Los Angeles to Chicago, are cities addressing the problems driving businesses and residents away—or simply finding new ways to tax them?&nbsp;iAllegedly — a news channel focused on the stories that matter to your money, your business and your future. 👍 Like, subscribe, and check out the private uncensored channel at https://iallegedly.tv ✉️ Please join our email list to stay updated and connected.&nbsp;Sign up here https://bit.ly/2Y21C19 Dan's Mailing Address Dan&nbsp;@&nbsp;iAllegedly&nbsp; PO Box 564 Tustin, CA 92781 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&n…","meta_description":"Experience the Patriot Gold Difference.
