I thought things were expensive up in Massachusetts, but this is a whole new level.
The average home price in my community is over $500k and annual property taxes are over $10k a year. Here in Fairfield county, you are either in a very nice area or an area that has grinding poverty. Parts of Danbury, Bridgeport and Stamford look like third world countries. Then you have Greenwich, New Canaan and Ridgefield/Wilton where even a starter home will run you close to a million dollars.
Either affluence or poverty. Not much in-between anymore.
I have in-laws in Wilton. They would like to pay higher taxes. Big Libs.
