The reality is, there are concentrated pockets of Predatory Psychopaths that collectively gaslight & groom the unsuspecting masses in order to obtain from them.

@shagbark_hick Buy a vacant lot. Park your camper in summer and leave in October. Vacant land still isn't terrible for taxes... especially if you plant some crops, start a farm and get it as Agricultural!

[James @GreenleafOTTS]

@shagbark_hick Idk.... I'd elect for a early 2000s GMC conversion high top van, 5.3 vortec, with a small trailer or camper. Can still have a tent, van hauls more, more dry space, can sleep in and in general haul more. Can pull more than a Tacoma as well! But you'll be paying for fuel.

@steve2bacon What's the issue? Day traders can now put in responsible stops/ targets, collect re entrys without hanging on and hoping so they don't use up their precious 3 round trip trades.

@TheOneLanceB No one learning to trade was "helped" by PDT tying up their ability to stop and re-enter a trade.

I so wish when I started that idiotic rule has not been in place. Nothing paralyzes you mentally like knowing a responsible stop trigger will put you on the sidelines for 2 days.

@Captain_Fortran @alex_fasulo This is the argument from the locals who are leasing the land. Personally, I think solar is going to go into space and these projects are short sighted and going to go the way of 1800s tannerys

@shagbark_hick I'm a few hours south, i paid $80k in 2019 and they charge 4k+ for taxes... in a district where we don't have a highschool. And I wouldn't send my kids to a government school if they paid me to.

There are no words in elvish, entish or the tongues of men for how corrupt NYS is.

@thetoyinvestor What's a great indicator that a toy is going to make a comeback vs becoming virtually worthless?

[𝙷𝚒𝚌𝚔𝚖𝚊𝚗 @shagbark_hick]

So here's some fast facts on the NYS Property Tax nightmare I've got on my hands:

1. The school district is the #1 employer in this town
2. The school district has lost 50% of its students in the last 20yrs, and is on track to lose more
3. The District spends $40k per kid per year
4. That adds up to a budget of $10,000,000/yr for a District with ~200 students
5. 36% of that sum is funded by local property tax
6. That sum must be paid by the 854 households in the district area
7. Expressed per household per year, that's a tax burden of roughly $4,000 on average
8. School tax is only ~55% of our total property tax bills here; so after shelling out $4k/yr on average for schools, there's another ~$3k/yr per household on average going to county tax
9. We also pay some of the highest state income taxes in the USA (3rd highest)

These are rough numbers expressed in averages. Assessments matter, rebate programs like STAR matter, etc. Of course, on assessments, many of us are absurdly over-assessed.

For example, I paid $33k for my house last year. That same year it was re-assessed to $74,000. So I'm paying roughly double my fair share. The grievance board doesn't care about this -- because the school needs money, and that money pays the salaries of half the town, so they jack up the assessments. My effective property tax rate on my ACTUAL full-market value is 7.47%.

Meanwhile, we continue to lose population. People are dying and the properties are sitting vacant -- many are candidates for tax auction. Young families are moving out. Those who stay will be punished with constantly increasing taxes and assessment re-valuations. We consistently vote to surpass the tax caps, too, so rates rise above the state mandated 2%/yr. This is true even if the levy doesn't rise -- but it usually does.

Even if the school shuts down (it eventually will) -- you don't stop paying school taxes to dying districts. Your district gets absorbed and you instead pay taxes to the new district, which will face the same problems. The downside is infinite.

And also -- in the more dysfunctional high-tax towns, like this one, property values are not increasing on-pace with inflation. So the longer you wait to sell out and leave, the more you lose.

What does the future hold for those who stay here?
I am not so sure that I want to find out.

@johnrich @GovKathyHochul @alex_fasulo NY is being looted by Democrats like Somalis looting a Federal education grant.

You have to go back to the Inquisition to find an appropriate punishment for people like Nancy Hochul and the NY Legislature.

[James @GreenleafOTTS]

@alex_fasulo Altho I drive by these all the time and they are an abomination, to be fair, the local farmers in support of them do say this is no longer prime farmland.

@TanneriteCortez Mennonite guy I work with has greenhouses. Raises sheep. Brings produce and flowers to auction 70+ times a season via horse/wagon. Runs a produce stand.

Just built a house, new barn, had 13th baby.

People are propagandized beyond belief as to what is actually needed to live.

[James @GreenleafOTTS]

@remarks The Mennonite guys I work with have 7, 8,and 13 kids. Many others in the community have the same.

At 8 children average, a community of 30 couples produces 240 individuals. In 20 years, if each of those children bring in a spouse and also have 8 children, that is 4,800 people.

@GovKathyHochul needs to be imprisoned for this.

Instead she is trying to imprison you for buying a 3D printer.

BREAKING: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirms the driver of the bus that crashed into a line of cars in Virginia, kiIIing 5 and injuring 34, is a Chinese national who became a U.S. citizen and DOESN’T SPEAK ENGLISH.

He got his CDL from Democrat Kathy Hochul’s New York.

@BasedTorba Was talking with a Mennonite guy I work with, "hey we had a baby girl in March."

I said oh awesome, first girl?

He said, no, 3 girls, but 10 boys. 😮

Y'all gotta raise kids like civilization depends on it.
