Amerigas has always been a rip. $3.29 with Fred's.

Not to mention, I'm sure, major added warmth and comfort!

Equity means nothing if you love the place you live, don't plan on ever selling and want to spend the rest of your years there. I understand what you're saying. People shouldn't be forced out due to the burden of taxes. Our house is not worth that much BTW not unless we have another covid buying frenzy and people's heads aren't right due to fear.

Wow. Aweful at a time people are most vulnerable.

We should have appealed our town assessment. They raised the town value of our house $30,000 2 months after we bought it,, which was almost $40,000 more than we just paid for it. Then this past year it went up another $46,000 with the town assessment. We will come up with the difference but one day it will be just too much if it keeps up at this pace.

Very odd, unless it's not town assessed value and you're referring to sale value such as on zillow. Our town assessed value keeps increasing and taxes are up $1200 more last year.

I hope not, but definitely possible during this decade if things don't slow down:(

We love our little slice of heaven, if not we would have sold it during the covid craze like everyone else did.

I agree with this. We bought our house in NEK for a little under $80,000 in 2019 and our taxes have gone up almost $1,800 in 2 years and our house value doubled. During covid people came out of state and paid cash for homes around up for $500,000 and more! It was a selling/buying spree! If this pace keeps up we'll be homeless and forced out.

This is a shame. I remember paying $290 a month in the early 2000's with no deductible / 100% coverage! I also had dozens of insurance companies to choose from. They need to let competition back in. No competition= stupid high prices and the screw you high deductible plans.

Also with a deductible that high you mind as well go uninsured unless you regularly spend 9,000 a year in health care. You will never end up using that coverage. I have kidney disease, hypermobility and spondylolisthesis and spend under $2,000 a year for care without insurance. Granted I'll have to get insurance once I need dialysis or back surgery... I'll figure that out when the time comes.
