See that’s what red state individuals don’t understand. The high tax rates are through the roof in New York state, I will give you that. But our public schools are 500% better than yours, our infrastructure is probably a million times better than yours... we attract some of the best and brightest doctors from around the world who want to live here. So yes our taxes are high, and it stinks. But we don’t have a lot of low life trash in the suburbs to hurt our schools and way of life.
You are exactly correct. He got those property tax numbers for NY state out of thin air. NY is not too far behind NJ. I also know folks who own modest lakefront camps. They are destroyed by property taxes.
