The South is being invaded - still....
I moved from Seattle to Kentucky. I pay, for a home and 32 acres, $250 a YEAR in real estate taxes. My father lives in Kent, WA on 3 acres. He pays $10,000 a year.
This is one of the reasons I moved to KY. It was the closest I could get to “cost of living” expatriating without actually leaving the country.
Revisionist much?
