Perhaps its because I am well settled in or perhaps its because I have never been enamored by celebrity, status, class, or glitz. Many cities have unique markers, history, attraction transportation methods.
I honestly believe it is because most of us moved from Northern States where we were being taxed every which way .
Most of us moved here and took away the ability of those states and localities to keep their hands in our pockets .
Seniors are at the most liquid and highest asset point of their lives . The Taxing authorities back where we came from feel that we have individually and collectively " cheated them " !
If they could they would pass laws that would prevent us from moving away from such tax hungry places as say NY State !!
