um, not really. the property taxes are so broken that many people own multi-million dollar homes and pay for them as if they were worth nearly nothing. that said, sales tax and state tax rates are high, so if you just mean that, you are right.

This is a result of the property taxes being fixed(ish) though, isnt it? Since they cant get true value from that, they have to raise other taxes to make up for it.
