Episode Details

In this letter to the editor, Yacolt resident Mark Rose describes opening an “escrow shortage” notice that raised his mortgage payment by nearly $400 and calls it a symptom of a wider “fiscal fracture” facing Clark County’s middle class. He argues that property tax tactics like banked capacity, a collapsing insurance market, and state-level policies such as the Climate Commitment Act are squeezing working families, and outlines three reforms he believes could restore stability. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/letter-the-silent-eviction-why-clark-county-is-becoming-unlivable-for-the-middle-class/ #ClarkCounty #Opinion #CostOfLiving #MiddleClass
