UrbanBaby - This whole: Tax people in NYC less than ...

This whole: Tax people in NYC less than people in Kansas City is just plain *STUPID* You do realize that the reason we pay those taxes is that we live in the cultural Mecca of the whole freaking world? Those higher taxes give us easy access to the Met, Moma, dozens of movie festivals, brilliant musicians and artists, etc. How many of those do you find in Kansas City? Give me a fucking break.

- I'd rather live in KC and keep more of my money to provide a good life for dc's and our family when we need to send 4 kids to college and retire.

  - but, you have many more choices about what to purchase. you are paying more for the right to have that choice.

  - But KC is not going to have any of the things OP had... nor are they going to have doorman buildings with their own playrooms and pools and concierge.

      - Not saying _I_ live in one of those places, I'm just saying it costs more b/c you get luxuries and amenities you don't get elsewhere.
