My husband’s family lives in Texas- We live in MoCo. we pay $14,500 in property taxes and over $30K in state income taxes. My BIL lives in Austin’s and pays about $18K in property taxes. Our home values are the same.

I would take their bill.

Nobody’s stopping you from moving there.

Enjoy the electrical grid!

No. They already have pretty dismal services as it is. Can’t imagine how much more of a hellscape it can become.

The area around Haper's Ferry is nice, especially if you like the outdoors. I know a few people from work who moved there now that we're hybrid.

Also, they can't afford to run their public schools, which, I know, I know is the point here, but it DOES cause some difficulty when people find out.
