law6 - I see that you posted my long term view of EWX, which is
very bullish for the long term. As far as the short term, this
uptrend line needs to hold, otherwise will correct lower, the MA's

I lived in Houston 2003-2005. In and around Houston, the real
estate property tax was 3.5% to 4%.
Unlike Calif with Prop 13, TX can raise its property tax anytime
the local government needs to. Also add school tax. TX does have
very good public schools, better then CA. CA public schools are
going broke.
wow -- that's high property tax. I lived in NY state close
to the MA border for a number of years and it is 2.8% which seemed
really high. Across the border here in MA, which is a more
affluent area, taxes are much less, maybe 1.8% or less.
Not even close, I've done the numbers, I checked and property
taxes are similar to where I live. Let's say the property tax
on a house in IL was 5K and a comparable priced house in TX was
$6K, so I lose -$1K in property tax, however if I'm paying say 24K
a year in state income tax to IL and by moving to TX I pay nothing,
I still come out $23K ahead.
Yes, but they have some
I live in Illinois, which is in horrible fiscal shape, ...
