The property taxes are a big issue here in NJ that practically force retirees to move out; we have “home rule”, by which local property taxes pay for your schools, cops, etc. - and as those unions are very powerful here we pay through the nose. The state freezes your property taxes when you reach 65, but they are still frozen at a very high rate - so you’d deplete your retirement savings very quickly if you stay.
I suspect many retiring Americans are going to balk at moving to any area where they are expected to pay for schools for primarily non-American students; in fact, many young Americans are already doing that (and therefore fleeing NJ as well).
You would think property taxes in a retirement community would be low. It doesn’t take much of a police force when everyone is elderly, and there should be no public school costs at all when there are no children to educate.
I’ve paid property taxes to educate other people’s kids for 30 years now. It would be nice if I could opt out at some point.
