Wah, wah, wah. Property taxes are high. Meanwhile, you've got some of the cheapest housing in the country. What you spend on taxes is more than offset by what you save in rent or mortgage payments.

The guy in the article complains about $36,000 in commercial property taxes in Detroit vs the $32,000 he would have paid in New York. At the same time he boasts about buying his building for $400,000, which would probably have cost $20 million in New York. Boo hoo.

I live in a city of 600,000 where houses start at $1 million and go up from there. I know I will never own so much as a condo here. Wanna trade your low price/high tax situation for mine?
