maybe you better sit down for this
If I had been standing, my knees would have gone weak when I read this: Last year, Oakland’s Ad Valorem rate was 1.33% of the tax value of the property. This year, somehow it magically has risen to 1.41%. If anyone understands how this came to be, I’d be very interested in knowing. I was unaware the electorate had passed a bunch of large new taxes. Um...Okay...If I was completely terrified before, I'm whatever is one notch above that right now. In my last post I wrote: Oh yeah, and not that people in my current neighborhood aren't liberal (they are, very) but the new neighborhood appears to be full of those hardcore IN YOUR FACE liberals who also have money and are therefore the absolutely most annoying type of liberal there is. It looks like not only are they generally annoying, they will have the power to cause my wallet a large amount of pain if we do buy this home. Read the entire thing if you are remotely interested as the author makes excellent points about resale values and why voters who are homeowners might vote to approve these ridiculous taxes. As an aside, why is it I've never read this guy's blog before? If nothing else comes of this at least I have a new blog to read.
