Move closer to downtown. I find it ironic that my property taxes in the Beltline are higher to help support Bridlewood drivers while schools, pools, and parks are stripped from the urban centers.
counterpoint? don't like your high taxes? move out to the suburbs, where in most cases you will find no schools, group mail boxes and limited services
I used to live 'inner city'. I loved it. character neighbourhood. Local school, hospital nearby. Mail delivered to my door. 10 minutes to work. But--there were zero kids in the neighbourhood so to be fair to my kids we moved
now I live in the 'burb's.Kids everywhere. bigger house, smaller lot. No school on the horizon, no hospital nearby, drive to work is longer. taxes are about the same (relatively lower I guess compared to the size of the house)
I made a choice and I'm happy with it, but I feel I got as much (or more) services nearby for my taxes in the old neighbourhood, not the suburbs
