Not really. From page 10 you can see Palo Alto's assessment grew 6.7% overall. When biggest cost to cities is paying staff, and biggest cost to staff is housing, and housing costs are increasing more than 6.7%/year (over the long run), that's not really revenue up.

I'm trying to say: not (or only barely) up once adjusted for the appropriate type of inflation, which is heavily weighted towards housing costs since that's what so much of the money actually goes to
