"oh but property tax can't be that bad" lol I had a 1800sf (167sqm) suburban house, 2bed 2ba w/garage & I paid OVER $600/MO in property tax on a *teardown property* (meaning, when I sold, the condition of the house had no residual value and was torn down & a new house built).
around $8000K annually to the city to effectively rent a house I already owned outright - and that's a tax you pay unless you're so poor you can qualify for an exemption, so: a very regressive tax (this wasn't a second property or investment home but my only home, the one I lived in)
and then when you understand how property tax in many/most places is used as a means of keeping the schools in white neighborhoods well-funded while denying resources to schools in Black neighborhoods it gets even uglier
