The argument is dead simple: the cap is manifestly unfair. It makes it possible for two identical properties to bear significantly different tax burdens. How can that possibly be equitable? A taxation system with that effect should never be allowed to exist.
And am I "upset" that my "newly purchased property" is taxed more than others nearby? Hardly. I've been in the same house since before the cap was introduced, so I've benefited every year since its inception....while others get screwed and carry the tax weight for me.
Narrow self-interest is not the only perspective from which to see things.
