Charlie…
–Glad you apparently CAN, but not everyone can afford these R.E. tax increases that you consider to be low.
–That’s one reason that we DON’T live in the suburbs!
Is King Bloomberg TRYING to create MORE foreclosures!
–Very soon the only people left in New York City will be those on the receiving end of all the hand-out programs, and the frum community who “need” to have twenty kosher pizza stores and fifteen kosher bakeries to choose from (to pay for those getting the hand-outs!)
–Wise up Yidden! If you can’t make aliyah, at least move to a more “tax-friendly” state.
–It really IS possible to exist with just a few shuls and a handful of kosher stores.

All my surburbanite friends would LOVE to be paying my low NYC property taxes.

We really need to increase city property taxes even more in order to hire more police officers and firefighters. Allowing communities to be overrun with crime in order to keep taxes low is penny-wise and pound-foolish.

Are you sure the Governor has anything to do directly with the local New York City property tax????

If you want lower property taxes, demand lower services. Demand few police and firemen. Demand lower pay for civil servants (this demand will be taken most seriously if coming from the civil service unions). Demand less trash pickups. Demand a cut in subsidies for transit (resulting in higher fares). Ask for bridge tolls to be raised.
