I wish it was
$32,900 for 2019
$34,300 for 2020
$35,500 (estimate) for 2021
Highest real estate taxes in the country in my democrat/union controlled state.
Edit- My town has volunteer Fire and ambulance which I donate to and I counted that money towards taxes hence the $500 difference from my 36k post

I believe it. On the right property in a nice neighborhood, especially if it has a large waterfront? Doesn't seem out of line.
Dayum....you better go find kids and send them to that local school just to get yo money's worth haha....

Here's a fun pic for you El Gato...
A relative of mine used to have a house right in the red circle area. He sold it and moved to FL not long before Superstorm Sandy in 2012, and was paying $12-14K per year in prop taxes at that time. If you can glean it from the pic, it was waterfront.
But also note the black lines. Those are the approach paths for JFK, and that is a busy-ass airport. His home was right under the path for runway 31R, when it was still a thing.
Soooo many people would be like, "Why am I gonna' pay such high taxes with all that aircraft landing noise every day all day?" Especially when the Concorde was still flying. Loud-ass shit.
Now think of a place like that without the airport, and you can imagine why taxes could get as high as purported by Clubber.
Let's see how things are going in Portland...
Portland business fleeing 'unsafe conditions' as violent protests continue

The combination of COVID-19 and riots is taking a toll on downtown Portland's business base, and one of the city's major employers, Standard Insurance, is not being quiet about it.
Around 2,000 employees used to work out of Portland-based Standard Insurance's office building, but now the building is sitting empty and employees who need an office are working out of its nearby Hillsboro campus, Portland news station KGW reported.
"Our downtown properties have sustained significant vandalism and a number of employees and contractors have been assaulted in recent months," a Standard Insurance spokesperson told local TV station KGW, adding that "current disruptions and unsafe conditions in the neighborhood" have affected the situation.
Demonstrations that often turn violent have racked Oregon's biggest city for more than two months following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
Police have declared a riot in Portland amid ongoing protests over racial injustice.
The Multnomah County Building was set on fire and vandalized, said county commission chair Deborah Kafoury, the Oregonian/OregonLive reported. There was damage to a lobby where protective equipment against the spread of the coronavirus is distributed, she said. The riot was declared Tuesday night outside the building, police said.
Standard Insurance's spokesperson said the company is committed to downtown Portland "assuming conditions in the neighborhood improve," KGW reported.
Meanwhile, national health care nonprofit OCHIN announced last week it's selling its 40,000-square-foot office space in Portland as employees go remote permanently. An OCHIN spokesperson told KGW that unrest in Portland had nothing to do with the decision to sell the building bought for $14 million in 2017.

You dont see these lefty Portland clowns over at Nike headquarters protesting child labor in asia or their chinese sources using muslim ugyhar concentration camp labor. Instead they bash the head in of some guy protecting a trans woman or she was protecting him or whatever.
They can stop this in two minutes. They need to bring in some german shepherds, fire hoses, and billy clubs. Its very simple.
First you bring in the german shepherds, then you start to separate the thugs by using billy clubs, then you hit them with the fire hoses.

Ha ha....
As someone who used to go to Brooklyn quite often that whole area makes me laugh when you say "waterfront" They really let it go to shit, especially with inside waterfront as you pointed out there. JFK is such a shit airport it sucks the life out of all those communities sadly. You go to the beaches there and just like Northern Jersey they are wannabbe beaches with NYC quality upkeep and quality. Even when you make the 3 hour drive east to get to the Hamptons the houses and community make it have better quality beaches.
I remember when Rockaway was some awesome beach to escape to from the city but the people had to keep going further east to get away from Brooklyn quality
.I was joking mainly with Clubber as he reminded me of where he lives and some of the counties do have major high taxes (on the good side some of those schools are really great so if you have no kids you kind of feel ripped off haha).
Happy New Year from Portland!

Portland kicks off 2021 with a riot for the new year
By Lia Eustachewich
January 1, 2021 | 9:07am | Updated
Portland rang in the new year with a riot — as vandals wreaked havoc throughout the Oregon city, tossing Molotov cocktails and attacking law enforcement with rocks and bricks, police said.
The crowd convened around 7:45 p.m. near Chapman Square downtown, the heart of protests that raged in the city throughout 2020.
Portland police said at least two Molotov cocktails were thrown and commercial-grade fireworks were launched at the federal courthouse and Justice Center, which some rioters attempted to break into.
The crowd also set multiple fires and chucked rocks, bricks and frozen water bottles at officers from the Federal Protective Services and Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office. Some were struck by paint-filled balloons, which Portland police said may have been “laced with a caustic substance as it caused burning to the skin.”
A riot was declared just before 11 p.m. and cops warned protesters that if they didn’t leave the area, they’d be subject to arrest “and/or the use of force, including but not limited to impact weapons and tear gas.”
The group also destroyed property, including shattering a Starbucks window, KOIN reported.
The planned protest was billed as being “in solidarity with BLM” with “no streamers, no megaphones, no masters,” according to online posts.
“New year, same goal,” the post said.

The raucous protest broke up around 2 a.m. only after police used inert smoke and some impact munitions.
Police said arrests were made but that information was not immediately available.
