Glad I live in Texas.

You must rent. I lived in Texas 17 years....my property taxes on my house went from $600 to $1800 to $3600 to $4800 dollars in 8 years in Ft. Worth.

That is brutal

Ya notice people in Texas are constantly trying to get people to move there?

Then throw in nasty heat and humidity 7 months out of the year...

I'd say trouble likes company

In the People’s Republic of Crook Co. Illinois we had exponentially escalating property taxes, sales tax, IL state tax plus every other kind of fee or tax the Daley machine and democraps could think up.

I’m glad to live in the great state of Texas now.

You couldn't pay me to move back there. And I was born and raised there plus moved back 5 years ago for a year. Couldn't leave fast enough.

Heat, humidity, bugs, illegals, ugly landscape, confiscatory property taxes and people condescendingly proud of all that. I imagine they're actuall proud of their state for other reasons, but they can't get their noses out of the air long enough to explain why. (At least the natives like my sister and her husband were like that.)
