Except that prop tax money isn’t going to schools, is it? It’s going to pensions and health bennies...

How can other states manage? Take a good look at their budgets. A lot of them aren’t. And the ones who have moved or are trying to move to a defined contribution system are coming in for a ration of excrement from unions and their uniparty pols.

Only advice I can give, and I hate to say it, is own the least expensive home you can bear to live in if you’re fortunate enough to have a choice.

comes because of the tax bill, which limits the state and local tax (SALT) deduction to $10,000, passed in December. Previously, the feds forced no monetary limit on filers.

Why are the RATs complaining??? Doesn't this capping of certain itemized deductions get those fat cats closer to paying their "fair share?" /s

If the taxes as so great, why ya sellen?

[Kickass Conservative]

I thought Liberals thought the Rich should pay their Fair Share. Why are they complaining?

We spend very little $ on heat or AC in CA and the weather allows us to grow much of our food. That alone is worth a small fortune makes up for many of these criminal taxes in CA.

With near perfect weather year round and so much to do, I'll be staying in CA and will continue efforts to destroy these leftist. I've lived in nasty weather states and venues. It's just not for me!☺

Sounds like your sibling can never actually “own” their house, they are just renting it from the state at $25 K / year. It’s about that bad in Texas as far as property taxes go, maybe worse.
