Do house prices fall, lowering taxes, which fucks City/County/State budgets?

ELI5, what would a 1-2% raise in the interest rates do to US housing?

If inflation hits like the 1980's your money will lose half its value in 5 years.

You have to wait for the interest rates to get that high and then for real estate to collapse. In the meantime your $250,000 in savings loses $37,000 in value every year.
