Winche$ter right?Taxes... $13k/year for us, le sigh. Stings when you find yourself sans income. I could use some positive development right nao.
School taxes are usually separate from property taxes. At least here they are.We pay about $10k in taxes on a ~$500k house on a .50 acre lot. More than I wanted to pay, but in the 2.5 years we've been here, I can see where the money goes. Some of the best schools in the area, own water/electric depts that have always answered calls/fixed issues within hours, and streets constantly plowed quickly, even our dead end street in the woods with ~12 houses. Lots of community programs and resources for kids, etc. Great library, parks, etc.
Sucks paying that much, but would suck more to still pay it and not see any of the benefits
Roads/infrastructure. Parks & playgrounds. Snow plowing in winter. Emergency services (LE, EMT, fire).Wow. What do you guys get for all them taxes?! I pay about $5900 (Cdn) per year for property taxes. I live in a townhouse downtown. People in big houses in the suburbs pay less. I frequently argue they use more.services than I do (roads, sewers, water, parks, schools etc...).
But your guys' taxes take the cake. Do they go to the counties too, to pay for highways and roads?
Not in MASchool taxes are usually separate from property taxes. At least here they are.

I suppose you guys have nice roads. Always notice that when we cross the border. Nice and smooth, even surfaces.Roads/infrastructure. Parks & playgrounds. Snow plowing in winter. Emergency services (LE, EMT, fire).
Depends on the road. Some roads are county managed, some are state.I suppose you guys have nice roads. Always notice that when we cross the border. Nice and smooth, even surfaces.

I believe that in my town, >90% of the taxes are spent to fund our schools.

As a new parent, the school system was definitely high on the list of priorities when we were looking at houses, and a main reason we chose our town.I believe that in my town, >90% of the taxes are spent to fund our schools.
Kiddo is already behind the ball if you expect him to earn his tour card. HMU if you need someone to teach him how the game is actually played.As a new parent, the school system was definitely high on the list of priorities when we were looking at houses, and a main reason we chose our town.
Though I'm still skeptical as to how much that really matters at the end of the day. But I figured might as well give the best chance of success for my kids, in case those golf scholarships and PGA tour card don't work out like I'm hoping.
Nah, BZN is being gentrified these days... We have two story high-rise //////outhouses*:In Bozeman one removes sewage manually, one open cartload at a time
Also, using school ratings as a criteria while house shopping makes me feel old. I'm sure actually knocking out a womb turd would solidify that.
How’s killington running right now?Back from riding three days at Killington bike park in Vermont. Working today in upstate New York, then to Long Island to attend the wake of a dear uncle's Irish wake on Wednesday and the funeral on Thursday.
Been there too. I even dug out my ps2 and copy of downhill dominationHonestly....recently discovering red bull TV and all the cool bike vids has made me feel way older than any kid ever has. I forget the name of it, but watched a movie the other night that was all about the start of freeride with a bunch of old clips from the first Kranked films, etc. Made me realize how absolutely insane I was into everything, and how long it's been since then. It was an absolute trip and such a bittersweet feeling with everything I have going on in my life now. As awesome as my life is now and fortunate for that, some of my all-time greatest memories revolve around that era.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't tear up sitting there alone on the couch watching it.
Ah, we had one of those next door too. Then the mom starting boinking the 17 year old son's friend, and the husband moved out after the him or me ultimatum didn't go in his favor. Then more teens moved in, the drugs started, and it all culminated in people living in the basement, peeing on the walls and shitting in the corner until they had to fire sale the house cause her disability checks couldn't pay for the house and drugs.There is some crazy shit going on next door. So they have 5 kids, from 17 to 2ish. They had a babysitter move in, then her boyfriend moved in, too. Then one of his buddies was going through a divorce, so he moved in. The kids got to be too much, so a new babysitter moved in.
There are currently 6 cars there (his, hers, oldest child, buddy, babysitter 1, 2). It's a 4 bedroom house with a den, I don't get where the hell everyone is at. It's like a clown car house.
