 matt5 join:2001-10-06 Lagrangeville, NY | The real problem The problem with upstate NY is the taxes are outrageous. The auto shop I work at pays 24 grand in land taxes, and it is not on much land either! Not to mention money is wasted so badly. Over there summer road work was being done right in front of the shop. Pipe went in, came back out, in again, out, dug deeper, in, out, in, fill went in, blacktopped over, dug out again, put in 1 last time and then done. Royal waste, and now 100grand is being spent to build up the bank of a very small stream (drys up in the summer) near by. For 1 grand the silt could be taken out and the flooding problem fixed.
Lower the taxes and stop wasting money, net access wont help as much as making a place affordable. |
