Nobody forced you to live on the cape! Dad couldn’t afford to live in Beverly Hills when he got a job at LAX, so he bought a house in Agoura and commuted on the 101 & 405 for decades!

Tear down the cottages and build high capacity housing. And widen the f'ing roads
2026-08-11 06:31
It should go to renter fund, not mortgage fund.

Truro needs some minority adverse possessors!
2026-08-11 06:29
F yes. Please
2026-08-11 06:28
democrats love fees ,fines, and taxes .
2026-08-11 05:18
Rhode Island, another blue state, not surprised
2026-08-11 03:23
These already pay taxes on these residences. It's not the business of the state when or how much time you spend in your home. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are becoming if not Socialist states Communist states.
2026-08-11 02:44
Typical Democrat blue state. Instead of curbing spending just keep raising people's taxes. And they wonder why the wealthy tax payers leave. What a bunch of losers.
2026-08-11 02:41
These people are completely disingenuous - it’s not the price of the homes, but the increasing TAX burden on the properties………?
2026-08-11 02:34
All I heard was…. Let’s count other people’s pockets/ Single people out/ monitor who stays where, when, and how much/ penalize people for purchasing property.
2026-08-11 01:46
This will only increase the gulf between rich and poor.
2026-08-11 01:43
Why doesn't he have his mom move in with him?
2026-08-11 00:55
Taxes fix absolutely nothing.
2026-08-11 00:52
Sounds great, but it's not a solution for anything
2026-08-11 00:51
And why is it anyone’s business whether someone chooses to stay in their home or rent full-time?
2026-08-11 00:49
So why did the values go so high? Were there “property reassessments” by the taxing authority inflating values so they could extract more taxes? The whole story is rarely revealed so someone could be made to look like either a victim or a scapegoat. If government is involved, suspicion should be high that someone is gaining at the expense of someone else. When someone is achieving success, there will always be someone else vilifying that success and trying to undermine it or tax into oblivion. That is the definition of envy. “If I can’t have what you have, then I’ll do my best to destroy you!” JMHO, YMMV
2026-08-11 00:37
It’s pure greed by the government. If they spent taxpayers’ money responsibly, they wouldn’t have to invent new scams to squeeze more money out of taxpayers. Going after the rich always sounds good. However, when governments don’t know how to budget, they then go after the middle class. Don’t be a fool and fall for the tax the rich scam. You’ll be next.
2026-08-11 00:33
What happened to the thousand other times you raised taxes to solve problems?
Here's something that will blow your mind.
Mass has some of the highest tax collection for "roads". The Mass Pike was supposed to be paid off and free decades ago.
But even with all that money collected, Mass has some of the WORST road and infrastructure in the nation and that's on top of the fact we still have the same capacity we did in the 1980's.
2026-08-11 00:33
Palm Beach County Florida needs a snowbird tax law
2026-08-11 00:10
But she pays property tax on the house but doesn’t use any town resources if she’s not there, wouldn’t that save the town money?
2026-08-11 00:10
Need laws on where houses aren't allowed to sit empty
2026-08-11 00:07
It's a second tax on top of the property tax that these rich people already pay. Who cares if the house just sits there, they are already paying the appropriate tax. A person with a 20 million dollar home already pays $70K to 200K per year depending on where they live on Cape Cod. The median property tax is from 3K to 8K per year. A person in the 20 million dollar house is already paying 23 to 24 times the property tax of the average person living on cap cod. This means they are already paying at least their fair share and since they put little strain on the overall infrastructure of Cape Cod they are paying even more than their fair share. The politicians count on people like to get all angry and agree with them. Just looking at the numbers would tell you the politicians are lying and hoping you won't challenge them to actually do some hard work and police their budget. The Taylor Swift tax adds $95k per year to a 20 Million dollar home making the new yearly property tax range $165K to 295K. Now they will be paying between 36 and 55 times more than the median property tax. Instead of going out of your way to get angry at wealthy people who are already paying their property taxes worry about yourself doing better and your politicians being so corrupt.
2026-08-11 00:02
“Have to drive over the bridge to get to work.” The injustice ?
2026-08-11 00:01
You think everybody who is fortunate enough to have a second home has a fricking $40,000 extra in cash a year to pay to these towns when they don’t even use the services of the town for eight months or so?
2026-08-10 23:59
What a horrible idea. How about making it easier for builders to develop land and increase supply?
2026-08-10 23:56
Democrats just want to take every penny we have.
2026-08-10 23:54
This guy needs yo move to a state that is more family friendly. Try Nebraska
2026-08-10 23:51
People pay taxes on these homes already and because they’re vacant they aren’t using town services. The towns are already winning.
2026-08-10 23:51
Nebraska. Missouri. Welcome u.
2026-08-10 23:49
Eh they need more low income housing
2026-08-10 23:48
Democrats love taxes ????????
2026-08-10 23:46
Democrats love taxes.??????

Envy is a disease. Get well soon??
2026-08-10 23:38
Remember the Revenue Act of 1913 lowered average tariff rates from 40 percent to 26 percent. It also established a one percent tax on income above $3,000 per year; the tax affected approximately three percent of the population. You see how that turned out.
2026-08-10 23:38
So hold on they're making the people that have billions of dollars pay their fair share for houses that just sit there and use maybe once a year and those houses cost $20 million, good make those billionaires and millionaires pay the money because they're making most of it as we are picking up the scraps!
2026-08-10 23:37
There is already a tax deduction for primary residences in Barnstable. Compared to red Idaho where I lived, the property taxes are not that high. Folks should look off cape at home prices before considering this a "cape" problem.
2026-08-10 23:35
The tax is charged at a rate of $2.50 for every $500 of assessed value above $1 million, on top of the property taxes owners already pay to their city or town.
2026-08-10 23:35
i hope all of you ppl complaining about taxes on second vacation homes enjoy cutting your own grass.
2026-08-10 23:31
Starts with a Small fee? then grows
2026-08-10 23:23
RI tax needs to be paid to Rhode Island not cape Cod
2026-08-10 23:18
How would this tax help the family impacted in the story, if it doesn’t help the avg homeowner, then it’s nothing but a cash grab
2026-08-10 23:17
I'd love to ...consider retiring to Mass..problem is.. Mass is a dumpster fire underneath it's surface. I'd love to live on the cape after I retire. Thing is.. it's unrelatable to live on year round. That traffic on the Cape; is just as bad as the Long Island Expressway headed to say the Hamptons.
2026-08-10 23:17
It's time to hold state government employees accountable for their mismanagement of state funds ? look at Florida ☝️ it's clear the state government employees are the problem against Americans Rights ? the people need help ? they deserve to live in their homes across this country without unconditional taxes driving them out ? president Trump should help save this country from fraud in government jobs destroying this country ??
2026-08-10 23:05
Democratic States always propose new taxes. That is their answer to everything.
2026-08-10 22:59
Not a word about the threshold property value or the tax rate proposed. Also, this phenomenon is not unique to the Cape—if you grew up in a nice town, you’re going to have to go earn some money before you can buy.
2026-08-10 22:58
I like it. These people have enough money to own a spare luxury home that stays vacant most of the year. They can afford to pay taxes on it.
2026-08-10 22:57
The housing crunch has also cretaed a traffic problem every day now instead of just weekends. The people commuting back and forth to work from off cape has backed up the bridges every day now.
2026-08-10 22:42
Cape Cod is going to be the new Miami
2026-08-10 22:41
I don't understand what Taylor Swift has to do with this?
Some local Rhode Island official proposed this unpopular law.
So why not name the law after this official?
The people have a right to know their "heroes."
2026-08-10 22:41
No worries the DSA has a plan to help, keep voting BLUE
2026-08-10 22:38
It’s cape cod! If you want a 100,000$ house go to West Virginia. Sorry you can’t afford ocean front property
2026-08-10 22:36
I would like a more expensive car than I currently have, can you tax people more so I can have the money to buy one, just a woke world going nuts.
2026-08-10 22:35
Second and third, etc. homes should be taxed at least double a resident.
2026-08-10 22:29
I'm fine with taxing these people. My question is how does that translate to lower housing for everyone else? That needs a far more detailed explanation.
2026-08-10 22:28
SOCIALISM KILLS
2026-08-10 22:27
Florida...".Let's work on finding a way to eliminate property tax.' Massachusetts ..."Let's have more property tax because we love to spend other people's money"
2026-08-10 21:51
The real property tax is unconstitutional as it literally taxes one's right to own property. Rights and their exercise are never up for taxation. The real property tax in the USA as it now stands was born during the depression out of a perceived need by mostly local governments that felt somehow entitled to be recession and depression proof. The real property tax ballooned into the corruption machine it is today. There is no method of detaching the real property tax from the violation of one's right to own one's property as long as the tax is absolute, based upon one's housing value, and results in the taking of the house if one cannot afford to pay the tax. The real property tax not only violates one's property rights, it is taxation without representation because the real property tax is typically apportioned and assigned by unelected bureaucracy.
2026-08-10 21:41
Mass is out of control..
2026-08-10 21:39
That kid looks like a playa
2026-08-10 21:31
Definitely agree with tax on Cape and pier d terre tax in NYC.
They will not even notice it missing from their account(s)!!and it can make a difference.
Small buffer before we eat the rich!!??
2026-08-10 21:08
???!!!!!!!??????!!!!!?????
2026-08-10 20:41
Instead of relaxing the restrictions for those who can afford to build, they're taxing the few properties ?. That will never solve the housing problem. Towns restrict new construction to protect their properties ?
2026-08-11 21:09
Rhode Island and Massachusetts are socialist communistic swamps. What's theirs is theirs and what is yours is theirs as well. Why do people keep voting to give up their freedom and their money? Here in Rhode Island the Taylor Swift tax stems from the political party she herself endorses. Stupid is, what stupid does. Enjoy your new tax, Taylor.
2026-08-11 20:33
Remember when we went to war over a 2% tea tax ?
2026-08-11 20:29
Communists never stop spending others money.
2026-08-11 20:26
OMG they have to drive over a bridge to get to work? What’s the difference between a large vacation home and a small one? They both sit empty most of the time. But to just single out the large ones for this is insane, but Mass has never had much common sense. How is brining in more tax dollars going to benefit this young guy directly ? Please F’ing tell me?
2026-08-11 20:09
There will always be poor people that are willing to work for less. If it is the case that businesses are not able to find employees in Cape Cod right now, then how is it that they’re still operating? Maybe they employ undocumented immigrants? A mortgage assistance fund will never be able to offer monies for a $700k property at an extreme discount for very low income, more specifically, 0-30% AMI.
2026-08-11 19:41
GREED
2026-08-11 11:31
redistribution of peoples wealth with out their voting on it sounds like taxation without representation....101
2026-08-11 10:54
It always starts out as tax the wealthy. Then it filters down to everyone. When will people in Mass. wake up.
2026-08-11 10:14
1:11 They will leave!! As they should!! Everything that clown ? says is communist rhetoric!!!!
2026-08-12 08:46
Hard pill to swallow: you do not have a “right” to live anywhere you want.
If Cape Cod becomes too expensive for a family to afford, that is a serious economic problem worth discussing—but the solution cannot simply be, “Find someone who has more money and take more of their property because they can afford it.”
A person who bought a home decades ago, or someone who bought an expensive second home, did so with their own money. The fact that the property is valuable, sits empty, or belongs to someone wealthier doesn't make it community property.
And I don't understand the argument that a homeowner should be penalized because they don't live there year-round. If the town needs more revenue to provide beaches, lifeguards, police, 911 service, schools, roads, and other infrastructure, then make the case for what those services actually cost and how the people who use them should pay for them. Creating a special tax on a particular class of property owners because their wealth makes them an attractive target is a very different argument.
Housing markets change. Jobs move. Cities become expensive. Industries decline. Entire communities grow and shrink. Sometimes people have to move somewhere more affordable. That's not always fair or pleasant, but it is reality.
And there's an important distinction here: helping people afford housing is one thing; declaring that people are entitled to remain in a particular geographic location regardless of what that location costs is something entirely different.
If Cape Cod wants more year-round residents, the better question is: Why is housing so expensive in the first place? Are zoning restrictions limiting supply? Are permitting rules making construction unnecessarily expensive? Are environmental regulations restricting development? Are there infrastructure limitations? Are local governments creating barriers to building the housing people actually need?
Those are the questions I'd want answered before reaching for another tax.
Because once we establish the principle that someone's property becomes fair game simply because they have more of it than someone else, we're no longer talking about affordable housing.
We're talking about whether private property actually means private property.
And I think that's a much bigger question.
2026-08-12 08:32
At what cost?
2026-08-12 08:29
??? Wealth Redistribution, Reparations, "Affordability", Entitlement... by any other name!
2026-08-12 08:08
The housing market isn’t messed up. It’s where they want it to be.
2026-08-12 07:58
Yes...... the plan is working. Tax tax tax more money to be laundered threw school systems. Alow states and town ship to benfit frol repossessed homes and the banks love it to. Who at the top wouldnt love cash grabs ?
2026-08-12 07:56
Stop punishing the successful
2026-08-12 07:26
Quality of place is a big issue. Ppl wanna reside where the parties at
2026-08-12 07:22
Citizens should be able to work off tax owed . Like i would work off my property tax by working for the city .. mowing the lawns at the park anything thats needed
2026-08-12 06:49
This will just force the families who inherited the homes from parents grandparents to sell. Cash grab
2026-08-12 06:06
Id burn my house down before I'd let these people rob me in the 2nd home tax scam.
2026-08-12 05:51
Governments just can't get enough. They must take more and more and more. I would imagine that if their budgets were ever TRULY AUDITED, so much waste and corruption would be exposed that taxes could be cut in half overnight.
2026-08-12 05:43
It’s NOT the 1% at the top that’s hurting us, it’s the 2% at the very bottom that continue to bleed the system dry.
2026-08-12 05:43
Rich people will be like: Put a toll booth on the bridge.
2026-08-12 05:33
Government officials lining their pockets with extra taxes. How about the don’t raise your property taxes just because other houses are expensive
2026-08-12 05:33
Crazy liberals taxing the hell out of everyone. RIDICULOUS!
2026-08-12 05:31
A tax is more viable than waiting for Mother Nature to flatten the Cape so we can start over again .. That is what we really need. Cape Cod lost its community when selfishness was allowed to prevail. The whole problem is because millionaires stole this land from the locals. We need to keep them out!!!
2026-08-12 04:58
"tax surcharge" the politician calls a "small fee." What is the actual tax rate? $2.50 for every $500 of assessed value (equivalent to 0.5%) on value exceeding a $1 million exemption threshold..
2026-08-12 04:40
These people are already shelling out huge property tax payments but are not a burden on the town’s resources because they don’t use them. You’d think they would be grateful. How ripping these folks off for more than their fair share is supposed to make homes more affordable escapes me.
2026-08-12 03:54
I was born and raised on an Island called Alameda in California. If you weren't fortunate enough to have bought a home there prior to 1980- 2000, you probably were going to be able to afford one on the same incomes you were living on before that. This isn't a unique occurrence, and as sad as it is(and it is sad) taxing the rich to 'fix' the problem, isn't a fix at all. Eventually you are going to have to move. But if you already own your home, you will probably get a good price for the property.
2026-08-12 03:54
Trump did this.
2026-08-12 03:51
How communistic is that? Using NYC as a good example of anything right now is nuts.
2026-08-12 03:43
well tell the rich to stop buying houses
2026-08-12 03:42
Corruption , corruption , taxation and who loves it most democrats. My opinion.
2026-08-12 03:30
So build more houses. Oh right, zoning won't allow that. So let's hike some other taxes, spend 10% on subsidizing mortgages and blow the rest on nonsense.
2026-08-12 03:21
How does taxing people more solve the problem, idiots
2026-08-12 02:51
Targeting other Americans instead of reducing your outspend is the most Un American idea ever. BTW Maine is forcing speech is it not by making a private citizen disclosure whereabouts and time? Huh
2026-08-12 02:51
Okay that's fine and dandy what have you done with the rest of the money before this.
Asked no one.
The lack of anyone ever questioning why is it so expensive where we live and to just totally delete the politicians and bureaucracy out of that equation and look confused of why this happens is just mind-boggling.
We spent all of your money please give us more.
2026-08-12 02:51
Another money grab. If a property cost $400,000 you pay property tax on that amount. If a house cost $30,000,000 you pay property taxes on that amount. It's none of the government business how many days a year you live in it. It's not fair to expect people to pay more than others. It's typical wealth envy.
2026-08-12 02:37
She's a Democrat so she should love more taxes
2026-08-12 02:32
or here's a thought, go thru and reevaluate what you're charging for property taxes and mortgages and make them more affordable so your average person can afford to live there. this is a really dumb idea by taxing the rich, what if they decide to sell the properties so they dont have to pay the extra taxes? it's also really dumb cause you're basically punishing people for being successful. like you work hard and you finally get to own a home in a nice place and just cause you dont always use it some shmuck is gonna try and tax you more than everyone else? yeah if i owned a place there and they tried telling me i was having to pay extra taxes on it? i'd sell the place and tell them to go to hell with their extra taxes.
2026-08-12 02:31
How about doing away with property taxes. I bet that would have an immediate impact on the local people in the area.But they will never do that
2026-08-12 02:31
Who cares about this singer, she wouldn't even share pictures of her wedding or dress to her loyal fans. That's how much she cares about her fans.
2026-08-12 02:21
1:45 Yea, sure it will ???
2026-08-12 02:09
Tax Taylor Swift more, and give to the residents who built and maintained the community over the years, not the local government bureaucrats! Taylor enjoys the fruit of the natives labor, they built it and maintained the island over the decades, through good and bad, storms and all. Taylor Swift is a Billionaire twice over and has caused mini-local inflation just by being there, she won't even feel the extra tax.
2026-08-12 02:04
Buy vacation homes in Red States only. Problem solved.
2026-08-12 02:02
Vacancy tax can really help communities in places with insanely hot real estate. Look at Vancouver BC for an example.
2026-08-12 02:01
If you can’t afford the Cape, it’s time to move. Stop trying to reach into someone else’s pocket.

2026-08-12 01:59
Crazy. When is enough enough?
2026-08-12 01:58
Oligarch funded online troll bots are going to hate this tax! ?
2026-08-12 01:44
The high price is because millionaires paid 100x the price value and that raises the prices for everyone else
2026-08-12 01:43
What an investment!
2026-08-12 01:43
Supply can lower prices. Realtors want this approach to grab money via tax instead of more houses: for the recent years, higher priced home purchases pay them back more commission.
2026-08-12 01:41
Everyone who works on the Cape should just get jobs elsewhere. The wealthy will get bored and hungry mightly quickly.
2026-08-12 01:40
Only in blue states, taxes are there answer to everything.
2026-08-12 01:39
That money will never help anyone in the middle class. Just destroy the upper middle class and jump start communism
2026-08-12 01:30
This won't end well..
2026-08-12 01:18
My guess is a small percentage will go into the "mortgage assistance fund", what ever that is. The rest will be where ever the politicians put it.
2026-08-12 01:08
They pay property taxes just like full time residents, but they use less resources because they only live there part of the year. But, let’s tax them more. Perfect logic?
2026-08-12 01:06
airbnb is also a issue
2026-08-12 00:58
No society has ever taxed itself to prosperity.
2026-08-12 00:57
Easy to vote to take other people's money and justify it with the usual "we are 'asking' them to pay a little bit more"
2026-08-12 00:49
If I was Taylor Swift, I'd pay a minimum wage employee to live there 6 months per year. Fuck your taxes.
2026-08-12 00:47
Dude, property already pay taxes. Furthermore, if they are not living in the town they are not using the services lol
2026-08-12 00:41
TAXATION IS ROBBERY
2026-08-12 00:34
She shouldn’t have to pay extra taxes on a second property she owns. And the problem is private equity and greed when selling these houses. Taxes only exacerbate the problem and I don’t see how paying more taxes is going to make it cheaper for someone to live there. You shouldn’t have to pay property taxes and you shouldn’t have to buy a house that’s not worth a fraction of what they charge. Housing prices are just flat out unreasonable and then you get extortion with taxes, insurance fees, and a whole slew of other unfair charges.
2026-08-12 00:22
You can't give politicians enough money to waste
2026-08-12 00:13
These communist politicians have reached maximum stupidity.
2026-08-12 00:12
Taylor Swift is a character not a real person and they're taxing y'all on Hollywood illuminati fake person who is from Media ??????????????????????????????
2026-08-12 00:11
Glad I left Cape Cod 20 years ago on a cloudy day. The streets are gridlocked. Nobody’s at the beach what a zoo.
2026-08-12 00:09
Why would someone who only lives there parttime and uses less police, fire, medical, water, sewer, electrical owe people that use the services all the time. F off.
2026-08-12 00:08
I've lived on the Cape since 1982 probably before Dan was born. Back then the lights went out on Memorial Day with the year rounders fisherman. It's now more of a year round community than ever before with the unaffordability coming from the scary wonderful ideas people like Dan come up with. I will be selling my house in September and putting the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts in my rear view.
2026-08-12 00:06
Just to put more money into their own pockets. Nothing more nothing less

Taxation is theft!
2026-08-12 00:06
there isn't a revenue problem, there's a spending problem
2026-08-12 00:03
Tax Taylor swift anytime she uses her private jet, heavily. Tax everything she does heavily.
2026-08-12 00:00
Her home is near a Kennedy home who she was trying to be friendly with.
2026-08-12 00:00
Taylor Swift tax ? Lol I mean this sounds stupid , but I guess
2026-08-11 23:49
We don't need more government
2026-08-11 23:45
This is total BS, this tax will not help one person buy a home. The state will find away to steal this tax money like they do with every other tax….then they will come back for more.
2026-08-11 23:38
This state has enough tax revenue. We just spend it on stupid shit
2026-08-11 23:36
They don't call it taxachussettes for nothing!
2026-08-11 23:33
Democrats can't find enough ways to Take Your Money!!
2026-08-11 23:31
The super rich here in the US made a terrible mistake constantly posting about their extravagant lives. So they put themselves on the radar of contempt. Blue states simply cannot tax enough. They spend like drunken sailors money they do not have. This tax seems to imply that owning a home frequently not used is a sin and needs to be punished and therefore taxed. The rich having multiple homes is not new. I knew lots of folks growing up in NJ that were well off, not rich like Taylor, that had a few homes. Heck many middle class people have a cabin at some lake that sits empty a lot. Most of the homes, cabins in WI are empty most of the time. Personally I do not want to take care of more than one home. These homes are bought as investments by the rich and to impress their rich friends. Those homes pay a big property tax. Most likely theynhave a local service that cuts grass and plows. So theynare keeping the economy going.
2026-08-11 23:28
Wow, legalized theft.
2026-08-11 23:28
And that money doesn't go directly to people it's B's just jealousy....get a job
2026-08-11 23:27
Take, take, take ugh socialism is so stupid to support those that don't work and live off the government. I don't care for Taylor Swift but she worked hard to make her own money and can do what she wants with it. Just absolutely wrong people are so jealous of others. She should rent to her housekeeper 100.00/mon just to screw with these people
2026-08-11 23:25
Democrats are looking to steal more money after USAID has been broken up. The average homeowner isn't going to see any of this. Taxes will still rise, home prices will still rise.
2026-08-11 23:23
Greed is a deadly sin. Society is not lost, but over. Good luck humans.
2026-08-11 23:20
Tax the crap out of them. These people are ruining the America they claim to love. Yeah I’m talking to you.
2026-08-11 23:17
Let's just call it 'The Hypocrisy Tax'.
2026-08-11 23:13
Great idea.
2026-08-11 23:11
Property tax is, in reality, extortion. Only a godless country would kick somebody out of their owned home for not paying this extortion fee as a consequence. This is how people are dispossessed of their home by raising the yearly charge.
2026-08-11 23:06
Taylor Swift For President 2028
2026-08-11 23:05
Sounds like a commie cash grab
2026-08-11 23:05
Fugg that! So you want to tax those who made good financial decisions and worked hard to support others? Is that really fair?
2026-08-11 23:01
TAX the RICH! ❤️??
2026-08-11 22:56
What happened to the property tax?
2026-08-11 22:54
So I'm not there not using the services so not adding to the load, but I should pay more because little Billy can't afford a home in a rich neighborhood. You pay taxes for services if your not there your not using the services. This is just a cash grab with an excuse. Where I live and how I live should be my business you pay property taxes already.
2026-08-11 22:45
More taxes in Massachusetts are terrible. 75 billion more in debt since Healey was elected. If they can't control how much they are spending already, giving the government more money will make the problem worse.
2026-08-11 22:43
They already pay property taxes and don't use the government services at anywhere near the rate of residence.so it's already a net positive for the city! To punish them will force them to sell them for year round residents who will pay the same property tax and use more government services costing more.
2026-08-11 22:38
The sole solution to every problem a politician looks at always seems to be higher taxes, which have never made anyone’s life more affordable. Someone needs to show me how raising taxes will make housing more affordable? It only adds to the already bloated government bureaucracy, while the average persons outcomes never improve.
2026-08-11 22:35
Why are these morons always turning to tax its people.... So sick and tired of these officials wanting all of our money!!!!!
2026-08-11 22:16
More taxes will never help your economy, they can’t. Of course they use TS as the example as she is mega rich, but of course she can just sell (at a profit due to inflation due to government spending) and all the middle class will eat the cost thus leaving even less money for those economies. Shameful.
2026-08-11 21:51
Can we tax Ferrari owners to pay for my Kia???
2026-08-11 21:45
It could definitely help those people sell their houses and give the state no tax
2026-08-11 21:40
This will not help the average citizen of Cape. The average Cape citizen will never ever receive or get any type of compensation for tax relief out of this. The wealthy Democrats or Republicans will make sure of this.
2026-08-11 21:31
BARNSTABLE COUNTY ASSEMBLY OF DELEGATES sounds like A money scheme
2026-08-11 21:27
Less government, less taxes
2026-08-12 20:37
Steal from rich people so broke losers can live beyond their means ?????
2026-08-12 20:32
The who!e state is corrupt as hell.
2026-08-12 20:27
This has NOTHING to do Taylor Swift.
2026-08-12 20:20
So the hard working ones who keep a vacation house to rest is going to work more to support those who are unfortunate ones??
2026-08-12 20:18
The regular tax rate for people who live on the Cape is about half (based on amount per thousand of the value of the house) of what the rest of MA property owners pay. So they've already been getting a "break" all these years & there are a lot of wealthy people that live on the Cape & can well afford to just pay a comparable rate closer to what the rest of the state pays.
2026-08-12 20:16
There will be a housing collapse on the cape in the future. They are loosing what made is to wonderful. It amazing to me how much it has changed since I was a child growing up in a lower middle class family of six. My parents took us camping for the whole month of July at the North Truro Campground every year growing up. Some of the best memories I have are there. Our neighbors owned a second home in Truro for fifty years and we stayed there so often. Their children inherited the home and had to let it go because it was just too expensive to hold onto. So sad its been taken away from average folks.
2026-08-12 20:08
If they had to sell the family home and property values are high .... shouldn't they have got a bunch of money, enough to by an equivalent? More to that guy's story.
2026-08-12 20:06
I love how this guy can tell you what other people can afford and it’s all baed on a supposition.
2026-08-12 19:11
Even with the tax, his parents will have to sell their place and another extremely wealthy person will live there part time or not at all. When you are worth billions, does it really matter. I know someone whose family had an oceanfront property for almost 100 years. Kids had to sell home since they couldn't afford the property tax. Yes, they received an ok amount of money, but if they sold it today it would have been worth almost triple. Sad when original/long time resident roots are lost to the rich.
2026-08-12 19:10
Communism and socialism are a horrible thing. Stop falsely increasing the value of houses in your town.
2026-08-12 19:07
Thousands of units being built in Hyannis. $2450.00 a month for two br. All the year rounders are gone. New people are all migrants with section 8 moved from free hotels
2026-08-12 19:06
I’m sure Taylor can afford it
2026-08-12 18:19
Rob the rich to pay the poor.
2026-08-12 18:08
What the heck are they talking about. The services that they are talking about are already paid for with the property taxes already collected. They just want more OPM.
2026-08-12 17:28
Money is the root to all Evil.
2026-08-12 15:37
Stoopid thieving politicians; this is why the colonies revolted against England...shyte taxation
2026-08-12 14:26
The youngster said they.maybe forced to sell their home; taxes too high or the cost of living is too high? Which also means taxes and insurance.
2026-08-12 12:56
Once again the government is out there squeezing gonads and ovaries; this isn't new, NYC is trying to do that and the judge put a temporary hold. Targeting again; isn't the increase of real estate taxes year after year enough? Never enough to squeeze. Vote this lawmakers out.
2026-08-12 12:54
They are looking for another way to picket money. Lol. You get what you vote for!
2026-08-12 12:21
Taxes homes over 750k and the rest should be zero.
2026-08-12 12:05
This is quite common. My State you pay triple for 2nd homes.
2026-08-12 12:05
Losers outnumbered gainers here,,?
2026-08-12 11:41
I am not one of these wealthy owners, but taxation does not solve the problem. There is no middle class, there is no industry offering jobs with the right wages, there is no real industry that is producing. When you convert to a service industry, then it becomes a third-world country with the ultra-rich and the poor service workers. This is what is happening in blue states. Trump is trying to bring back industry and manufacturing across America. But it doesn't help when you are in a blue state. The Democrats want third-world states.
2026-08-12 11:30
These people only have one gear, tax, tax, tax. Ridiculous and in the state we threw tea from. Stop the tax brain damage game and do an internal doge. The bureaucratic bloat is the first place that needs an audit.
2026-08-12 10:53
It will help no one ??? money will only go into government pocket ???
2026-08-12 10:46
Another scam STOP TAXING TO FILL POLITICIANS POCKETS
2026-08-12 10:31
Cape Cod is ran by a democrat majority, so there is no surprise as to why they’d want to push more taxation on the people.
2026-08-12 10:06
Purely a money grab, nobody benefits from this, other than government.
2026-08-12 09:58
Just another reason to seal your money, it’s not going to really help the poorest locals, how about tax and utilities relief
2026-08-12 09:52
Why is it nearly 800k like 5 years later from 400k to live there…..??? Greed
2026-08-12 09:52
There is no reason for this vacation home tax. Are you getting tired of property owners and vacationers? Get lost.
2026-08-12 09:36
Why even allow these massive homes to begin with if you truly care about housing? Change your building codes and build more affordable homes.
2026-08-13 08:59
Unastute fans were shaken down in order for her to get that mansion ❗?
2026-08-13 08:23
Never works because they piss the money away somewhere else.,big joke !
2026-08-13 07:49
Same thing with New York City. Housing and real-estate prices have been allowed to reach a point where many average working people simply cannot afford to buy. Whether intentional or not, the end result is economic exclusion—you price enough people out, and only certain income levels can realistically live or own property there. You see a similar dynamic in Florida, especially with waterfront and coastal property. High demand, limited supply, insurance costs, and development restrictions drive prices higher, but the practical result is the same: fewer ordinary people can afford access to those areas.
2026-08-13 07:41
taxing lakefront and beachfront property probably won't do much of anything to help with the housing crisis
2026-08-13 07:20
Punishing success. Awesome idea. Said no one ever.
2026-08-13 07:02
They need more affordable housing options
2026-08-13 06:54
My dad lives in masspee. It’s so expensive.
2026-08-13 06:53
This is about money. Home owner to vacation rental .
2026-08-13 06:31
How well does the redistribution of wealth work in all those thriving communist utopias?
2026-08-13 05:42
mplementing a luxury second-home tax is a surefire way to cool the high-end real estate market. Historically, wealth taxes on property cause affluent buyers to take their capital elsewhere. Instead of dealing with these punitive surcharges, buyers will just shift their investment dollars to states like Florida that don't punish vacation home ownership.
2026-08-13 05:25
Gessen don't know shite from shinola about the Cape !
2026-08-13 05:14
demoKRAPPES wreaking the Cape as fast as they can.
2026-08-13 05:11
Don't even say that name! She's evil ? some people need to wake up and not be so brainwashed. Idiots.
2026-08-13 04:39
I would be cheaper to hire someone to live in and take care of the property than pays stupid tax. Then the house isn’t vacant. It’s rented out
2026-08-13 04:17
The Democratic Party has held continuous power in the Rhode Island General Assembly since 1959 (over 65 years), and the state maintains a Democratic trifecta with control of both legislative chambers and the governorship. You got what you voted for.
2026-08-13 04:08
That is some liberal ?.
Instead and being fare. And look also into the owner finances.
Stop voting Democrat
2026-08-13 04:04
The only way to solve the the problem is to NOT TAX people into OBLIVION
2026-08-13 03:52
Communism!!!
2026-08-13 03:45
Spoiler alert the houses aren't worth that. They may be appraised at a high value but would never be sold for that. The more the city/county says it's worth the more they make from your house. ???
2026-08-13 03:25
Maine needs this too!!!!
2026-08-13 03:18
How bout you just limit how many houses they can buy. People need a max of one house.
2026-08-13 03:13
Never understood why second homes are taxed at the same rate as an owner occupied home.
2026-08-13 03:12
Wait when NYC did this everyone screamed socialism and all of the rich people will leave. So enjoy that conversation for the next 5 years
2026-08-13 03:06
The money will only be put into the political system. How about no taxes on any one making less than 150.000 a year and no taxes on the home that they live in all year round. Tax the f out of any 2+ home
2026-08-13 03:04
Just another form of "excessive taxation". You want to help the local community? Stop wasteful spending habits at the local and state level. You can't "out tax" bad spending habits.
2026-08-13 02:39
They will just leave and take their money with them.
2026-08-13 02:22
Not a fan of the "nobility", but I don't believe that they should be taxed any differently than any other property owner.
2026-08-13 02:16
They do this in BC, Canada, mainly to stop out of country (Chinese) ownership. It’s graduated by how much time you don’t spend there.
50% of your time to avoid the tax (not specified in the report, even by % of property tax) doesn’t seem like a lot for the cost of the property.
2026-08-13 01:58
Taxing the wealthy proper, will always be an issue?
2026-08-13 01:56
They have to cross the bridge TWICE a day! The horror, the horror.
2026-08-13 01:44
I’m sure property owners already pay property taxes. While I don’t give a fig about celebrities, I believe in fundamental fairness; that is, everyone pay their fair share. They are already paying more in property taxes with the “non owner occupied property tax”. That seems fair enough.
2026-08-13 01:38
JUST IN: Judge Blocks Mamdani’s Pied-à-Terre Tax After Homeowners File Lawsuit. YA GOOD LUCK IN COURT
2026-08-13 01:36
No it won’t solve anything but inflation
2026-08-13 01:12
This will simply cause higher prices.
2026-08-13 00:57
So chase away the people paying already ? ? who wants to vacation with a bunch of money grabbers, maybe budgeting is a better option ?
2026-08-13 00:50
This is the right idea, but it's not nearly enough to help the skyrocketing cost of living for the working/middle class. It's time for a min. 2% annual wealth tax on billionaires!!! That is the only thing that will slow the transfer of wealth from the working class to the ultra wealthy and make assets like homes more affordable again . Tax wealth not work!
2026-08-13 00:50
Taylor Swift is not a good person. Anybody with that much hoarded money cannot possibly be a good person.
2026-08-13 00:36
New people are stupid. Keep texting everybody and they will go away and there is no business no home no taxes being collected as all because you scared stupid.
2026-08-13 00:25
WHY go after the taxpayers!!!!!! When you have a Governor who allows illegals to flood our state, the supply of housing diminishes due to the increase in demand, therefore, the prices of houses go up! Taxes increase to feed, clothe and house these people, never mind the increase in health care and educational costs!!! Voting matters people! We need to vote in a government who will fight for the legal citizens of Massachusetts!!
2026-08-13 00:18
Just another excuse to create a funding source that will go towards salaries for pet projects that were created for politically connected friends, and none of it will benefit the cause that it was originally intended for.
2026-08-13 00:17
Another fund politicians will raid. Who they fooling?
2026-08-13 00:15
The New York City Tax.
2026-08-13 00:12
If the family had lived there for years they bought there house before the price went up unless they refinanced there house at a higer rate the loan would stay the same. am sure the county has raised the property tax to match the new higher market value the state could always lower the tax rate to what it was 10 years before to help long time residents out.
2026-08-13 00:05
Fast way to get rich people off the Cape. As said below, who cares that the house sits empty, does she pay her taxes? Whether she is in the house or not.
Not a word was mentioned on how it will help the Cape or the other people living there.
2026-08-13 00:03
Always a tax, never cut costs.
2026-08-13 00:02
lol umm its called SOCIALISIM . Take from the rich ....and give to the state? ...oh wait ,haha they tricked you , the money is not even going to the ...poor .Its going to the socialists pockets . Who would have EVER guessed that ?
2026-08-12 23:48
1:50 tyhey need taxes so that ordinary people who own houses in a beautiful place have to sell their homes so that the rich come there. because these ordinary people don't want to sell their house.
2026-08-12 23:46
It's having Democrats and liberals for Socialism, they're the ones that raised the taxes , especially social programs for illegal immigrants.
2026-08-12 23:40
No. This is another way blue states are trying to tax the average American out of their homes. The legislation needs to get its act together. This is a back door way of getting all prime real estate for the rich. It seems all along the coast lines it is happening. Hawaii, California, (with fires no rebuilding yet) now the Cape. It’s a huge land grab . Oh don’t forget about the Hamptons. Only the mega rich will be able to have not the average American. This is class separation at its finest.
2026-08-12 23:40
Communist solutions , ruining the area and destroying the lives of everyday Americans
2026-08-12 23:39
Cape Cod is a sandpit, I hate it.
2026-08-12 23:37
This is what happens when you build mega mansions in areas that were just everyday blue-collar workers generational habitats. You get falsely inflated housing prices that increases the local residence who are just blue-collar workers property tax beyond the means where they cannot afford to basically pay rent to the government for the privilege of buying a home that you will never own..
Because even after you purchase your home, you are still basically paying rent to the government to allow yourself to have shelter over your head until you’re dying day that’s ever increasing even after your Old and Retired and cannot make any more money. The government will just take your home away from a tax lane if you can no longer afford to pay the rising tax rate..
When your government says.
(“ where are your government? We’re here to help you”) ?♀️
2026-08-12 23:36
The solution is to pass a new law that states once your house is paid off, then you no longer pay property tax.
2026-08-12 23:33
Cry me a river. Virginia and Maryland residents have to drive over bridges to get to work in DC, have for decades. What happens when these people sell their second homes and you lose this extra tax on them. These homes are taxed, they shouldn't be double taxed.
2026-08-12 23:33
Damn, y'all! I wanna live right on the beach, walking distance to stores! Maybe the vacation homes here in Myrtle 'Beach can be taken over so I can afford to move 3 miles away to beachfront! Uh Oh! Maybe they're coming for my She-Shed next! Or the dog house!
2026-08-12 23:31
Let's face it people! The American Dream is Deader then it ever has been in decades!
2026-08-12 23:31
Taylor who ?
2026-08-12 23:26
No, because regardless of the tax, the average person can't afford property like that.
2026-08-12 23:18
That's Communism
2026-08-12 23:14
Seeing wealthy cape code residents complaining that their standard of living will reduce is laughable
2026-08-12 23:12
And when people rent their houses short term, neighbors complain too ?
2026-08-12 23:10
Hopefully they also tax the extremely wealthy men
2026-08-12 23:09
I have a deep empathy for people priced out of places they grew up in, but taxing the rich more is not the answer to this problem. Communities need to decide what they really value and start choosing people over money. Strong middle class communities need to make a comeback. I saw too many communities in South Florida of have and have nots with no strong middle, you know what happens to the second and third generations of wealthy families? Many of the kids end up in drugs and other types of trouble because their values are skewed from too many services and not seeing enough real labor that generates real wealth. They don't learn to fight and get edged out. This combined with stupid leadership self-serving by attracting higher dollar investors to where the people who actually serve the community (teachers, grocers, nurses, etc) can no longer afford to live there. That's not a good thing, when your skilled labor workforce can no longer afford to live in your community you've given them no incentives to support the community long term.
2026-08-12 22:59
Sounds like the town has a spending problem
2026-08-12 22:54
Isnt that why you pay property tax? And they dont even use the services but part time and now yall want them to pay more for less.
2026-08-12 22:50
Taxation IDs Theft.No Taxation will make anything more affordable.
2026-08-12 22:49
What will be funny is taylor decides to sell her summertime home. Yall will be grumpy
2026-08-12 22:45
There needs to be high end taxes on vacant homes. VACANCY TAX NOW! Thru out the country. All these developers building crap disposable buildings/‘homes’ that stand vacant for so long need to be taxed out the wazoo. Boulder, CO, Denver, etc.
2026-08-12 22:45
Well it's a expensive place to live any way blame your politicians an greedy ass slum lords
2026-08-12 22:44
This is happening everywhere in Connecticut
2026-08-12 22:44
Like always they describe it as a wealthy targeted plan but the ones that are harshly impacted are those that live regular lives and can’t afford to keep up with growing costs. The rich who don’t like it can just up and go,even if they can afford the higher costs. The rest of the people face the harshest consequences.
2026-08-12 22:42
In some ways a second home replaces people's need to use the commercial home rental (short term or long term) and so second home should be considered a long term business use.
2026-08-12 22:36
These wealthy part time homeowners already pay very heavy taxes for these estates, they put very little financial burden on schools, city, state municipality’s -they typically pay a lot for ongoing services & maintenance -they also pay more for these services which helps the people in those businesses.
& if theses service providers have to travel further between moderate cost communities to wealthy communities there rates will increase -believe me, most of these service providers are well aware they can charge a lot more if they willing to drive 45-60min, so what’s the problem? -the real issue is politicians who made bad financial decisions & promises looking to blame a rich pop star or financial guy for why they don’t have enough to pay teachers, cops, EMS workers….even if you have to pay 20% more because they have to travel further to there job…..-these same city’s are charging 5-10 times the average house tax rate on these estates already, but these weasel politicians are still blaming the wealthy for their budget problems? not buying it!!!
2026-08-12 22:35
Idiotic
2026-08-12 22:29
They should not name taxes after people unless they are they deliberately insulting that person. Stop naming the tax or keep insulting them, your choice!
2026-08-12 22:28
Bizarro World
2026-08-12 22:28
The real issue is that politicians don’t know how to manage money. The only thing they’re actually good at is taking other people’s.
2026-08-12 22:20
Shouldn't they actually pay less taxes, because their not in residence, using local services?
I mean, it's not like there not paying the full rate already.
2026-08-12 22:16
Wait. This isn't right. I don't follow, watch, nor listen to Taylor Swift, but this is ridiculous. Why in the world would you penalize someone who can afford an area just because you can't? We all have the same chance to build wealth. That is the America I remember.
2026-08-12 22:03
IF I LIVES THERE FULL TIME AND MY TAX WENT UP BECAUSE A "STAR" BOUGHT A VACATION HOME, THAT HOUSE WOULD HAVE TO DISAPPEAR.
2026-08-12 21:59
More politicians steeling your money. I hope she sues the city. Now they want tax you so they can give it to there friends in plan view.
2026-08-12 21:56
Sounds like Socialism to me...?
2026-08-12 21:53
Over the last ten years between Casinos and pot store Massachusetts takes more money ? in then they ever had maybe if AP husband wasn't given a 2 billion dollar contract to build a court house and many more politicians in the one party state of Massachusetts wasn't stealing from the citizens of Massachusetts things could be better ?

Seems like a good idea to me to help young families trying to get their first home. How could you be on the side of billionaires rather than on the side of blue collar families doing the work that makes society function? You want a young police officer and nurse to be renting and never afford a home?

I own an operating a construction company on the Cape for 30 years and I could not afford to buy another house there so that’s why I relocated in North Carolina unfortunately this news that you’re reporting has been an ongoing issue for the past 10 years
2026-08-12 21:50
So the houses sit empty most of the time. First, not any of the town’s business whether one is in their house or not. Two, since the rich are hardly there it also means they are not sucking up town resources. Like fire and police. Let’s not forget all they pay in taxes to support a school system they don’t use. That’s free money to the towns. So stop bitching and live within your means. Such greedy half-witts.
2026-08-12 21:16
Its starts with high income folks and then it rolls down to the normal folks. No accountability on the waste, fraud and abuse.

Rhode Island is Pretty Chill ?, enjoyed my Time there...
2026-08-12 21:13
Hawaii has the same problem
2026-08-12 21:12
The truth is that the middle class currently requires affordable housing. The locals can no longer afford to reside in such areas because the wealthy are driving them out with high prices.
2026-08-12 21:11
The rich ruin everything.
2026-08-13 18:34
Democrats ❤ taxes ?
2026-08-13 18:30
It's just communism. Rob the rich and subsidise the poor
It's too complex a problem for that.
2026-08-13 18:13
Democrat states and cities love other people's money.
2026-08-13 17:33
Well, good luck getting any of that free flowing tax money to the needy.
2026-08-13 15:53
Cash grab. That seems beyond silly. I mean the towns are already raking in big tax revenue from the huge, expensive properties. If those properties aren't lived in, the owners have little impact on the town for services (schools, etc) leading to lower costs. The towns can't balance a budget with that built-in advantage? ...and nevermind the hired handymen, cleaners, landscaping, etc they bring along. Time to trash the town council.
2026-08-13 13:19
That's the same home increases we saw across Colorado. Yup. Mostly 3rd or 4th homes as "investments" as they are drowning in their own money!
2026-08-13 12:07
OH NO THE HOME SIT EMPTY! THATS THE PROBLEM!
2026-08-13 11:24
This should be a national solution, it's a national problem. There are nearly 3x more vacant High end homes in this country than there are homeless people. And there are a LOT of homeless people these days.
2026-08-13 11:21
Why does it matter if someone is at the home or not?! They still pay taxes just like everyone who lives there year round. They're even better then the locals because they DON'T use resources!
2026-08-13 10:55
Citing Taylor Swift does NOTHING to advance your agenda.
2026-08-13 10:32
So the people using public services less because they don’t live there are going to be charged more to fund those services?
2026-08-13 09:16
what does it matter if the owner actually lives there year-round? They still pay property taxes and because they aren’t there they actually don’t use any local services for the taxes they are paying.
2026-08-14 07:24
It is the fault of your failed democrat party leadership for almost 100 fricking years. Learn to live within a damn budget like actual working people must do. Add more taxes and that still will not be enough. ??????? ???? ???? - ????
2026-08-14 06:08
It’s not about housing the poor; it’s about promoting envy to breakdown Western society and gain votes.
2026-08-14 05:58
The beautiful irony of libs turning on other libs like vampire bats.
2026-08-14 05:49
If Kamala Harris were in office ,this house tax case , wouldn't take place.
2026-08-14 05:07
Hmm. Didn't Mamdami just propose this to a chorus of loud boos?
2026-08-14 04:57
So they will sell the property and go somewhere else where they pay the same taxes as everyone else. Great idea, especially if you want to drop property values and taxes generated by property tax.
2026-08-14 02:38
So instead of holding incompetent and/or corrupt city, county, and state leaders accountable they just rob the rich and keep voting for the people that caused the mess they are in.
Robbing the rich to give to the poor is still robbery and last time i checked robbing someone is illegal.
I am poor but i dont blame Taylor Swift nor do i think she owes me anything because she is rich. That way of thinking is for losers and apparently its the majority of voters that allowed this to happen. Losers!
2026-08-14 01:49
I think taylor swift is a lip sync moron, but taxing these homes is a bad idea. Why dont they state the property tax she is already paying? She's probably paying $15k+ a year in property tax. Its not like she's not contributing to the community. Broke mofos need to pack up, enjoy the inflated home prices and move where they can afford to live. $790k will buy you a nice home in 80% of the country.
2026-08-14 01:24
Or you could lower your taxes. Audit what your money is spent on.
2026-08-14 01:16
From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.
2026-08-14 00:59
I despise the woke, twerking Taylor swift, but she and others like her already pay taxes on their vacation homes. What gives you, the communist local officials, the right to tell Anyone where they should buy a home, land, small vacation cabin or massive second home? Don't care if it's Montana or cape cod, in America we have the right to private property without Marxists thinking they deserve to take it, or parts of it, from you? Maybe the "village" managers should learn to manage the money they get now from their tax base instead of fleecing more Americans by "fees" and taxes!
BTW: Property tax on homes is theft. All it means is you will never really own your home or property. You will essentially be renting it from the local or state government. AND, Seniors should NOT have to pay any property tax if they spent their whole life sacrificing and saving to own that home & asset....THEN, the government will tax it again when you die, and your heirs may have to sell it to pay those taxes!
2026-08-14 00:58
Let's tax the rich it's working so well every were else
Stupidity just stupidity
2026-08-14 00:46
Is it that what new york city did
2026-08-14 00:28
There should be massive taxes on second homes and above if they are a single family home.
2026-08-14 00:24
Taylor's is disgusting.
2026-08-14 00:17
DSA coming for Taylor
2026-08-13 23:09
You can solve half of the issue if rich people would sell some of their land for development for poor and low income people to continue to service them. They are truly the class of not in my backyard.
2026-08-13 23:03
Whatever happened to letting the market decide the price of something. It's only worth what people are willing and can afford to pay.
2026-08-13 23:01
Why not tax all property at a predetermined rate and then give those who claim the home as their primary residence (as in not having a "primary residence" in any other location world wide) a Homestead Exemption. I do find it strange that Democrats are drawn to the area like many liberals are to California.
2026-08-13 22:06
Wrong. Eliminate taxes and welcome businesses and homeowners in the community will flourish. Keep stealing their money and everyone will leave. How hard is this to understand.
