Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s, D-N.Y., mother doesn’t regret moving from New York to Florida in part due to the lower real estate taxes.
“I was paying $10,000 a year in real estate taxes up north,” Blanca Ocasio-Cortez told the Daily Mail. “I'm paying $600 a year in Florida. It's stress-free down here.”
Blanca moved to Eustis, Fla., just before her daughter entered the 2018 Democratic primary race against then-Rep. Joe Crowley in a Bronx- and Queens, N.Y.-based district, a contest she won in one of the biggest upsets in recent political history.
Blanca said living in the Yorktown Heights area of New York was growing too expensive. After her husband Sergio’s death, Blanca said that she was at risk of foreclosing on the house on two occasions. However, she finally struck an arrangement with the bank and avoided an eviction.
“I was cleaning houses in the morning and working as a secretary at a hospital in the afternoon. I was working from 6 a.m. until 11 p.m.,” she said. “And I prayed and prayed, and things worked out. After the children graduated from college, I figured it was time for me to move to Florida.”
She decided on Eustis because she had a relative in the area and purchased an 860-square-foot home for $87,000 in 2016.
“My house was crumbling and the yard was in disarray,” Blanca said. “But I've been working on it since I moved in. I painted outside and inside, then started improving everything else.”

So she admits she’s the one who bore ‘sandy 0’?
And will no doubt continue to vote for what she was fleeing up north.,
I thought Democrats loved taxes?
Oh, only on OTHER people. O.K., I got it now.
Hmmmm. Oddly, when looking at the map linked here, it would appear that Brooklyn is no where to be seen. Weird for someone who “grew up down there”?

That’s how phuking stupid they are.
““I was cleaning houses in the morning and working as a secretary at a hospital in the afternoon. I was working from 6 a.m. until 11 p.m.,” she said. “And I prayed and prayed, and things worked out. After the children graduated from college, I figured it was time for me to move to Florida.””
You mean to tell me she’s not on her daughter’s payroll? What a thoughtless daughter she has! To think AOC has her boyfriend taking money under the table and not her mother?

Don’t worry, deary, Subcomandante Sandy-nista will find the means to tax away everything you own.
And I have learned so much from my high tax experience in New York that I’m going to move to and vote Florida Republican. LOL
“I prefer Florida’s brand of socialism. It’s waaay cheaper!”
So is Blanca Ocasio-Cortez still voting in New York?
Sounds like an Old Skool American...
She was working 30-hour days, eight days a week.
Sounds like a very hard-working lady, with a commendable work ethic. An asset to the Country.
It is a shame that she seems to have failed in her first job though - that in raising her children - in that she has a Commie as a daughter. But, to be fair, you can't blame the sins of the children on the parents. I'll blame the Boston University crowd (damned Educrats and Media are destroying our Country).
“She was working 30-hour days, eight days a week.”
And she had to walk uphill both ways barefoot in the snow to get there!
Ya gotta jus laff at that displaced valley girl.
This is too funny.
Her mom, is willing to say out loud, that she left New York due to high taxes?
Is she, can we say, “off script”, if you will, considering her daughter wants to raise all of our taxes for green new deal boondoogles?????
Since she's not ashamed of her daughter she's probably a vapid parasite enjoying the fruits of Florida while voting to destroy what he loves.
