$30K? I’m guessing that is East or West Hampton on LI. In any case, that is just nuts.
Personal story: Back in 2004, I was thinking about taking a job in Rochester, NY. It seemed like you got a really good house for the $$, until I looked at the property taxes....$10K per year. No thanks—I didn’t need a second mortgage that couldn’t be discharged. But, 10 years later, my property taxes are creeping into that territory too (about 2/3 of the way there).
A cursory look on Google revealed a 2011 CNN money article:
Taxes in Nassau, on Long Island, where the median property tax was $8,206, and Westchester ($8,160), just north of New York City, were only slightly lower. (’Rent or Buy: 10 cities rated’)
If you think their beloved Obama reduced taxes...no
Real estate prices in commuting distance fri NY, and that is what this school district story is talking about, not upstate, not Rochester, are not $150 thousand. You don’t have to live in the hamptons to pay very high real estate prices
These guys don’t care about property taxes. Not enough to get the heck out of there nor to do anything about the onslaught of immigrants not even enough to ask kindly for the rewording of such lies into “ illegal immigrants, aliens nor invaders”
They are beaten
