Now, Gene, you can't "stumble" into a patch of California green <g> One has to really be looking for it! That's why your tax dollars go to pay the big bucks to the CAMP boys flying the helicopters and aiming guns at small children!

But, speaking of taxes, property to be exact, I know how California taxes property but I wonder how other states determine property taxes. The reason I ask is that we've been wandering around the net looking at various properties and there really seems to be no consistancy or reason. For example, there were two places in Washington in the same county, same asking price, same age on the home and the taxes on one $685 and the taxes on the other, over $2,000. The same with some properties in Maine, Arizona and NM. Is it just the roll of the dice?

I guess we've become a "weird" magnet. I just wish folks wouldn't
consider all those weird transplants to be Californians. And that
Southern CA wasn't how the whole state was judged.

Count your blessings. Bad publicity helps to keep the traffic down to
merely outrageous.

I lived in the Bay Area for 25 years and never felt at home. There is no
established culture. Still an experiment of transients searching for a home.

Yes, California is many places. I like the areas well north of the Bay
Area. Well, not where you might get shot if you stumble into a patch of
marijuana. And not the taxes and all the rules deemed necessary to keep the
massive population under some semblance of control.
