You don't actually live in those places. You see them a few times per year.

I live in this. Big difference. I posted things that are a few miles from my home.

Sure, I might have to drive an hour or two to get to those places.

A week after controversial head tax passes, Seattle City Council members propose property tax increase

SEATTLE -- People who own a home in King County are paying about 17% more in property taxes this year than last year to help pay for the state’s funding of public education.

But come November, Seattle leaders will be asking voters to approve a bit more of an increase for city dwellers.

City Council members say while the state funding property tax hike pays for basic education, the levy they want to be renewed will be an extra investment to ensure that kids from preschool to high school will have what it takes to succeed.

Council members Lorena Gonzalez and Rob Johnson are sponsoring the measure, which states the council wants to lift the limit on regular property taxes in order to levy additional taxes.

“This is really an important renewal effort for voters to consider,” Gonzalez said.

Gonzalez said in 2014 they made a commitment to voters to expand preschool.

In 2014, Seattle voters approved a $58 million levy allowing low-income kids to go to preschool for free...

We all need land in rural America. That's how you survive most things.

If there's no government, then you are still kind of fucked, but for most economic issues, just owning your own home and land is key.

I know a family of Bundy’s who would disagree.

Most of America’s real estate is cheap ... because no one wants to live on most of it. Socialists and democrats simply delight in destroying it where it’s expensive.

I’ve solved the problem by living outside of Seattle City Limits (you know, the same solution low income families could utilize if the divine powers of the state didn’t proclaim their absolute right to be in Seattle for unknown reasons) and working for a company in California.

When progressives turn Seattle into the next Detroit I’ll be right here, working remotely for California tech wages, and moving myself to new counties every time progressive politicians take over the county I’m in.
