[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a great way to end up with terrible schools, unless you make up for the lost revenue with another form of taxation. [/quote] Live in a no state income state. When we moved here (from DCUM), I was expecting property taxes to be really high (how else do you fund schools and such). Bought a home worth double, and my taxes were 75% of what I paid in HoCo. Schools are similar quality. However, current schools are severely underfunded and much of what makes them "great schools" is the local school foundation (donations from parents who know we need more $$$ to keep the schools great, to offer Art and Music in ES, etc). So yeah, lower PT and no state income taxes is not the best idea---it works in some areas, but most where it works in our area have donations [/quote] Are you in Seattle? Literally, the same experience as PP. [/quote]
