I live in NJ and the property taxes here are among the highest in the nation. My parents house is currently at 8k per year and that is considered "good".

Even in neighborhoods with shit schools taxes are ludicrous, an acquaintance of my family is paying 14k taxes for a small single family home in a town with a high school ranked 294 out of about 400 in the state. She wants to sell the house but due to high taxes and shit school buyers are hard to find.

Property taxes almost doubled in the past 10 years in my area, I am not looking forward to buying a house and then the property taxes doubling in another 10 years.

Proposition 13 sounds great to someone from New Jersey.
