Then move to the greater Seattle/Tacoma area.....where you can have the privilege of buying a home for, oh, a minimum of about 200,000......but our insurance rates aren’t quite as high (no hurricanes here, usually, although last winter was close).....but, the taxes on a 1700 sf condo are about $2700 a year.....a 3100 sf house....about $8000/yr.

You’ll just have to work harder/longer for the government, that’s all.........

Yeah, but you are comparing apples to oranges here. Washington doesn't have state taxes so it has higher property taxes.

And yes, I think Washington does have one of the highest state tax burdens in the US...
