Now those outrageous Nassau county property taxes don't seem so bad....
NYC always raised money through city income taxes and low property tax (so renters are affected); suburbs have the high property tax but no local income taxes.That's why houses in NYC had higher prices - they had lower taxes. Maybe goatweed the houses you want will drop in price if property taxes rise. Of course it means you should probably wait before buying now...
Rudy may have screwed the comuter tax though - as I said above, it has to be approved by the state, and that won't be so easy.
Big taxes - boy looks like Rudy got knocked out just in time...
