And we don't get the weather that CA has, either, although we get a nice solid 4 seasons. Born and raised here, I've seen a fair bit of the country and found it's hard to slow down from the NY mentality. But retirement would be a different story. $18k in annual property taxes on a primary dwelling would clobber a nest-egg, and who knows what that number will be in 20 years when I retire. |
That article is so far off in its numbers, I can't believe it. If $8000 a year in taxes on a 700,000$ house in ny is high, sign me up...
In cook county Illinois a 1mm house is about 28,000$ per year in taxes. In Wisconsin, it's about 15,000$.
A dinky 200,000$ house in the Chicago suburbs is 10,000$
The article states that the national average is 1100$???? On what planet?
