Makes me want to think hard about retiring in Kentucky, even though my property taxes are only eight times that amount and vendors from New Jersey and New York tell me what a bargain we are getting . . .
In many areas, real estate taxes are so high that it is actually RENT. When you can own your property with only the price of a nice lunch as your monthly tax, that can be called ownership. When your taxes are twice as high as your car payments, that’s not ownership.
