Who is going to deliver the babies, teach the kids, design the bridges?

@Cosmichomicide Boo hoo for New York. Their property taxes are three times higher than my current address. That's in part due to nearly a billion in property tax money to the "missed it by that much chief, perpetual losers the Buffalo Bills". Similarly, Kathy gave Syracuse university millions they used to buy a golf course removing it from the tax rolls. NY is a lovely piece of real estate run by criminals; I should know I spent most of my life there.
Pretty sure the point is that New York attracts high earners despite the cost of living because of the quality of living.
Mississippi attracts folks who need to live cheaply and are willing to lower their expectations for healthcare and education.
NY real estate is pretty much a cesspool and the Trumps aren't even the worse. But that's a market, not a state.
@Cosmichomicide All you need to know: Upstate NY, nowhere near the city. 898 sq ft home = 4,300 taxes. Where I live? 1640 sq worth 3x = 2,200.
@Cosmichomicide Like my cousin said: If cost was no object? I'd love to live in California, most of us would but few can afford it. My other cousin lives in Santa Cruz on the ocean, lucky bastard! I can't even conceive of that.
Damned skippy. I'd be right behind you.
@Cosmichomicide NY consumes people, takes far too much of their life wealth for pet projects and disposes of the elderly drowning them in fees and taxes. They also send your car to the dump in a decade due to rot, many not even at 100K in miles. They can't even lower the taxes with legal cannabis, because they spend too much. Remember the free Thruway concept? Yeah we all know how that worked out.
@MidnightRider
I can't find this elsewhere, so apologies for the Facebook link, but take the time to watch this. You will never look at Louisiana or property taxes the same way.
