Where I live my 2,000 square foot ranch style home in Florida (Lake County) is 1900 property taxes a year BUT schools stink, very few government benefits for the poor, etc. so people in these higher property areas are better off.

So I don't have a lot of sympathy for them, in general. With the new tax laws, much of that is probably not exempt from federal taxation either-we don't have a state income tax here. Property prices have gone insane over the last couple of decades.

The western end of the county is largely urban/suburban, but going up Hwy 2 into the mountains is where the Trumplodytes are so legion.
