Have some lunatic fringe elements taken over the humanities?

There are loads. Americans are generally not super rich like the US wannabe Kirk. No palaces but solid homes. The key is avoiding major ciy center areas. Not hard to do.

Haha yeah if you wanna live in Baltimore of course their is less then EVEN 200 G's. You'll still paying on Baltimore slum about $600/Mon properties tax

Still uncool. Lyle what is the reality of US property taxes? Many earn quite low incomes so the notion of paying a fifth of your wages for having a home sounds harsh to say the least.

In the area where my sister lives, a suburb of Chicago, annual property tax bills of more than $30,000 are commonplace.

@Gandalf @greynotsoold I'm trying to tell Gandalf about those thing, but he is talking from another continent and does not have any experience in the USA and he goes by a lot of hearsay about the USA. But he never wants to come to check it out to see what I am saying to him is true.

Great point there gray not so old

It would have to be a very expensive home as the rates are not quite what you were suggesting. The average person probably lives in a home between 150-250,000 dollars.
