Miami Dade Country raising property taxes due to Budget issues. How about yours??

Quote from PocketChange:

I just looked up an old condo i had in Chicago... 1300 sqft on Lake Shore Drive.

Bought it for 165K in 1995, property taxes $1200 HOA $200
Sold it in 2000 for 295k, property taxes $4500 HOA $400

Same unit available today for $260k, Property Taxes $12500 HOA $950


Are you serious? How can property taxes on a 260k condo be 12,500 a year? That's 5%!!!!!!

Until the criminal fraud between the democrats and public sector unions that has been going on for decades is finally undone and destroyed, expect more of this insanity. The good thing is that more and more people are seeing the insane compensation packages and are demanding it to stop.

The democrats and the unions have been riding this fraud for votes for too long and the truth is coming out with WI and now some towns in Cali.

the problem in most schools is not the actual teachers. but all the ancillary staff of administrators and layers of bureaucracy. overheads.

Yup, I live in D. Been all over the news. The ISD Head is claiming she will save $100,000's in waste and for us taxpayers to judge her in 6months. So, we will see.

But yes, something like $0.80 on the dollar is spent for non-teacher's. All the fluff up top.

but..i have to add-cars on the roads are all brand new and traffic is damn heavy 24/7 in my area. my 12 years old car is probably oldest in whole entire neighborhood. i remember back in 90's most of middle class have 10+ years old cars and it was normal.

You can't have booms without busts. Think about it.
