| Zoosermom, I am just convinced that you cannot get people in other parts of the country to understand this. My BIL has lived in the south for over 15 years. His property taxes for a good deal of that time were well under $1500 per year. I don't know his exact property tax to date, but if it is a lot, is is still under 3k. He was laughing at the high property taxes that we have had to pay since we have lived in our area. You just cannot compare. A higher income is just required for a similar standard of living. |
