Oh yeah, living paycheck to paycheck on $150k/yr in my palacial Levitt estate. Since that is now living "on the brink" we are on the "brink" of getting the hell out. $12k taxes on a Levitt cape? It's total insanity. I've lived all over. LI arrogance and denial runs deep.

Now that you have made your stand, in comes the LI "doorkeepers" asking you to watch for the door that supposedly is going to hit you in the rear as you exit....
retarded IMO and as you said arrogance and denial too.

Oh by the way, stop it already, we lost 2 seats according to the latest census !!

Default $12K property taxes? A mere bag of shells ...

Here are my past predictions for your property tax situation in Levittown (and frankly, for the rest of us in "non-super-wealthy" Nassau) if nothing changes.

Please note that I have been told on C-D that I am COMPLETELY CRAZY because the "quality of LI schools" is so superior that high property taxes WILL NEVER adversely affect home sale values or the ability to sell a home on LI! I hope that people of that mindset are right. Yet there is nothing out there to prove them "right" and even the writer of this brief article can see something is wrong on LI.

And here is a thread about modestly (for LI) priced homes in Levittown and high property taxes:

Maybe it's time to get out of Dodge?
