Moot point. Everyone pays taxes on their property. How much they're paying is what's being argued about.

To play devils advocate, you pay taxes on almost everything one way or another.

Like how you pay taxes on your income earned from your paycheck (federal, state and sometimes local taxes). When combined, it could easily take up over 30% of your gross income. Its inescapable (unless your Donald Trump or Amazon).

Tell me why you need external validation on moving away if you hate it so much. Tell mom you are giving up the basement and go already.

$7700 after tax with a $125k income. Something doesn’t add up.
