Today is the day, Realtor comes over to either list or forget it! Merry Maids and landscaper are both doing their things.
We have some property at Lake Tansi, taxes are still reasonable enough to keep as a vacation place. Have some family near Auburntown and am considering that area (Murfreesboro) for retirement time.

One can buy a nice house with 30 acres and taxes will be under 15 hundred a year, that IMO is a bargain. If I can eek 10 more years of quality life out of this tired old body before being forced to move no regrets. If I can't get the number out of my existing house oh well, it got a good face lift.

TP was more insulting than necessary, but the original post definitely opened the can of political bickering. Identifying multiple times that taxes were the reason for the move, that the taxes were unjustified because they have no children, and then making the claim that renters don't pay their fair share.
I too wish Wings good luck with their move, but I don't think the thread is above "political discussion". I pay more property tax than Wings does on considerably less land and have not had school aged children in a long time (or at all in the State of Maryland), but I recognize that paying for school in my community is a benefit TO ME as uneducated people are harder to employ, have to be financially supported, and often have a lot of spare time to get up to no good.
But we all pay for schools in our taxes whether we have kids or not. It's just that PA has a seperate school tax. And within a PA county, there can be different school tax levels.

True enough BUT 6K a year... 500 per month is excessive. The lil bastards do NOT need swimming pools in school or 50 sports activities. .
It's the simple fact that MD's tax rates are excessively high that galls me. Sort of a "value for money" take on it...I don't feel at all like all the money I shovel their way is being managed well. Plenty of states turn out educated kids from well-performing schools and have much lower tax burdens than MD..so "paying for schools" is obviously a canard..
My first mortgage payment in 1988 is now the equivalent to a car payment today.

You have been fun to read, over time, but your reply here is the end all.
You must be very jealous, or you have more serious problems than I thought you did. I think you need to seek help. 
I am here for you. :

You made me laugh. Thank you. I haven’t heard the word pissant for a long time. And, you are, exactly, right.

I lived in Knoxville for a while, but that is another story. I hope your move is all you hope for.

So much CRAP. it will be monumental! Moving guestimates so far at 12 and 15K.I lived in Knoxville for a while, but that is another story. I hope your move is all you hope for.
That's another major factor in my wanting to keep the place here in the county....I'd have to get rid of, or transport, so darned much stuff if I decided to sell the property. An entire farbrication and machine shop, for example... ;-( Tough choices. I may do like you are and put a silly high price on the place so if I do get it....I could afford to make some more happy choices about what to do with all our "stuff"...
If you leave the turret you salvaged from the Iowa, with all the fixins', I'd sign a lease for a couple years.
