[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone who wants Langley knows not to buy into that subdivision near Herndon because of the risk of redistricting. That’s why the houses are cheaper - that’s the risk you took when you got that deal…[/quote]
And everyone in Herndon gets cheaper houses because they have a subpar school. That’s also what they signed up for.  Not sure why you feel that those other citizens owe you anything.  [/quote]

They don't get cheaper taxes.[/quote]

I always find it humorous when you make this argument. You know how percentages work, right?[/quote]

DP. The rates are the same. If you buy more house/property, you shell out more by choice. If you feel overtaxed because the total you pay is too much, buy a smaller house/property. Paying a larger total in taxes doesn’t give you more voting power than anyone else. [/quote]

It’s disingenuous to say they don’t get cheaper taxes, because, as you admit, they actually do get cheaper taxes.

Nowhere in my post did I say anything about more voting power or complain about my own tax situation.  Your post barely touched on what I actually said, and instead you just go on this weird tangent.

It is disingenuous to disregard that everyone pays the same rate. If tax RATES were different per unit area, then you could argue that some people pay more or less.

But maybe you are arguing you are paying more in taxes per square foot than other parts of the county?[/quote]

I grow weary of your contrived arguments, and still find it humorous when people try to argue that they pay just as much as everyone else because “RATES SAME”.[/quote]

Sorry I think you're just flat out incorrect here. If one wants to purchase a cheaper condo in a top pyramid, then that option is available and they will pay relatively less taxes. If one wants to buy a $1MM+ McMansion in a low-rank pyramid that is also an option and they will pay relatively more taxes.
But nobody is paying more taxes because of their zip code and pyramid. They're paying it due to choice of real estate.[/quote]
