BOUNCE

[oldberkeley]

Older folks always used to bitch to me about the high taxes and the fact that their kids are out of school, why are they still paying for the schools?

I'd tell them that the first-class schools are precisely why your house is worth $500K instead of $200K, and the value is appreciating every year.

As long as the value of a house is appreciating more than the taxes, you're fine--and here they are.
