[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you spend just $500 per month on groceries, that's $1500 per year. Maybe that's nothing to you, but that's meaningful for many people. OP: you must be quite privileged.[/quote]

=500*12 =6000 yearly 2.5% is $150 dollars.....[/quote]

DP.  I'm so glad you showed up so yet another person could point out pp's math error.  You really are contributing important substance to the discussion that no one else noticed before.   :roll: [/quote]

Obviously a new tax on northern Virginia home sales.  Another $1 tax per thousand of sales price would fill the coffers fast.   As a bonus it would p*ss off liberals as much as the congestion relief tax.  [/quote]

Well, ROVA is a poverty state that NOVA needs to support.[/quote]

That's not how property, specifically real estate, taxes work.[/quote]

It kind of is. The rest of the state subsists off of NOVA income taxes. NOVA local real estate taxes have to be high because all of our state level taxes are going to the Shenandoah valley or to Hampton Roads[/quote]

That’s missing the post.  In Virginia, real property taxes are reserved for the localities and cannot be imposed at the state level.  Just like how only the state can impose income taxes, and not the localities.  The state cannot make up lost revenue from the car or grocery tax by imposing state-level real estate taxes.[/quote]
