Default Happy Days for us, sad ASA'ers

Well one can't set up a mooring near Richardsville can they? What
exactly
does that $7500/year in property taxes buy?


We pay somewhat less, but what it buys are schools that are better
than those we left behind. It buys half a dozen local lakes with
boating and sailing, snow that stays white, no traffic jams,
wonderfuls kids for Thomas to play with, a fanastic daycare center 1/2
mile away, clean streets, beautiful wooded land, roads that get snow
cleared on schedule and neighbors who all moved here for the same
reason: To raise their kids in a better place than NYC, but still
close enough to take advantage of what NYC has to offer.
Of course, if taxes are a worry for you (as someone with no boat or
good stereo MUST be counting pennies), then moving someplace better
makes no sense. Then again, you never found a woman or had a child
either. Dude...you're barley Human, even on Scotty Potty's scale!
