~$1500 for me in Buffalo, however I’m about 1 block away from being in West Seneca. Same story as most here…my street is always plowed, no issues with garbage, etc. Only thing I’m not to sure about are the schools. I’m amazed at how/why people live in areas with such high taxes… ---

Property taxes up here kill me. It’s fucking ridiculous, IMO. We’ve got a modest 1600 sq. ft. house on an 11k sq.ft. lot in the town of Lockport, and pay $4400/year. Yeah, Starpoint school district is damn good, the area is safe, yadda yadda yadda. However, I owned a 1600 sq.ft. house in a nice subdivision on 1.5 acres just South of Knoxville, TN. My total tax bill there? In 1998, it was $204…PER YEAR. Yes, read that again. Are my services 21.5 times better where I live now? Is the school 21.5x better? Am I 21.5x safer? No. As a matter of fact, I couldn’t measure any single item that is even 3-4x better here than it was there. FWIW, I looked up the most recent info on Zillow: Last sale: $139,500 '07 property tax: $392 IMO, this shit borders on criminal, and yes, we’ll be moving once the kids are college age. ---
