You'd think so, if it wasn't right on MD 410 in Hyattsville.
That is ridiculous. 3 br 2.5 ba, i'm guessing? ~ 2100 sq ft?89Hen wrote: ↑Wed Dec 09, 2020 11:24 amThe problem with our federal tax law is it's one size fits all.

This house is listed for $1,699,000 in the suburbs...
It is bigger than that, and don't forget around here we have basements.
I bought my house when we weren't including the basement in the square footage. Now my house is almost twice as big and I didn't really have to do anything.
At the speed that ADT answers the call and the now delayed reaction time from the defunded cops, the biggest value is maybe just having the sign out front in the hopes that the folks trying to break into your home decide your next door neighbor without a security sign would be easier pickings.
We have basements as well. The house across the street is on a double lot, but it's only slightly larger than mine, it has about 900 more sq ft than my house and a that includes a full basement. It just sold 3 months ago for $430k nearly double what I paid 2 yrs ago for mine. Granted - they updated the house and I'm in the process of renovating.
Fort Mill is a very nice area from my couple of visits through there.Ibanez wrote: ↑Wed Dec 09, 2020 1:34 pmWe have basements as well.

Oh yeah? Fort Mill is one of the best school districts in the state (much better than Charlotte). If you want a locals perspective on this area, let me know. I'd be glad to share.
Fort Mill is also the fastest growing town in SC. I love it here. The traffic has gotten bad but there are several infrastructure projects on going that'll relieve much of the congestion. It's small town, you really can know many people around town and see them. I live in the historic district and can walk to the downtown. It's only 2.5 hrs from the mountains, 3 hrs from the beach. The weather is mild...I love it. The taxes are relatively low, you're only 20 minutes from Charlotte and all the art/culture that they bring in.Which is amazing since no one has ever seen 89. Ever. Who is he and where will he strike next?UNI88 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 09, 2020 10:29 amBullshit! Kalm has different viewpoints and has plenty of respectful debates/discussions with others. Houndy, Jelly and Trip are others. Unfortunately, 89 is suspected of killing Trip and burying him in his backyard. To be fair to 89, he's an equal opportunity serial killer with the remains of Chizzy, Ivy and 93 hidden somewhere in his yard or basement.

It's easier for him to strike if no one knows what he looks like. It was rumored that Ivy and 93 had seen him so he had to get rid of them early. CID's on his list but he's a big guy and 89 hasn't been able to catch him by surprise yet.Or 89 just doesn't want to work that hard dragging a body.UNI88 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 09, 2020 2:53 pmAshevilleApp wrote: ↑Wed Dec 09, 2020 2:31 pm

Maine is either the oldest or second oldest state (average age) in the country. Your own arguments get Maine off the hook.GannonFan wrote: ↑Wed Dec 09, 2020 10:37 amFirst of all, what is CA really supporting? Even by the source you linked to start this thread, CA is almost breakeven in terms of payout versus what it gets back. If you hover over the state it lists a few things, one of them being the return on the dollar, and CA's return on every $1 sent to the feds is $1 back. So neutral. Florida and Texas (where the vast majority of NASA resides, interestingly enough), have returns of $1.12 and $1.05 respectively. Sure, that's a net positive for those two, but hardly living off the government, as you apparently are implying in this thread. Arizona, another retirement destination, is expectedly high ($1.48 return on the dollar). Heck, it doesn't take a genius to see that VA and MD, which are pretty much the concentration of federal spending in many ways, are two of the highest net takers when it comes to federal money - MD is $1.75 and VA is a whopping $2.12 return on the dollar.
Also, as an interesting note, why is Maine such a drag on the system? $1.64 return on the dollar, Maine's milking the system apparently.

Isn't the limit on mortgage deductions $1 million? Maybe you can build a "McMansion" for under $1 million in North Dakota? 
Yes, they contribute millions of dollars in U.S. taxpayer money to re-distribute to Red States.Col Hogan wrote: ↑Wed Dec 09, 2020 10:46 amFederal spending in those two names states is predominantly going to the Hugh federal civilian/military work forces in those states...
New York, for example, has fewer federal civilian employees and active duty military (52, 633 civilians, 48,974 military ) than Texas (114,170 civilian, 164,234 military)...
And those people all contribute millions of dollars to the economies of their states

Well when you have ZERO income tax.....you gotta pay for new highways and infrastructure somehow, no?AZGrizFan wrote: ↑Wed Dec 09, 2020 11:32 amWell, what do you know, ANOTHER dipshit with zero economic understanding. I can't speak for Florida, but in TX they get their pound of flesh out of you, just in a different way. On a $500,000 home in AZ, I paid $2100/YR in property taxes. On my $500,000 home in TX, I pay $15,000/YR. So, pick your poison, but try and stay out of the deep end when the conversation turns to economics or finance.
High wage earners are the ones who benefit the most from an unlimited SALT deduction. Why do you support taxing the poor and middle class to benefit the wealthy Geoffrey?
Lifting the cap on the SALT deduction would massively favor the rich, with most of the benefit going to the top one percent.
Lifting the cap would in fact give almost three times as much, as a share of the cut, to the top one percent as the TCJA cuts did as a whole (of course the absolute amount is very much less).
Even with the cap, the SALT deduction remains pro-rich, with around three-quarters of the benefit going to families in the top fifth of the income distribution.

It's all a shell game anyway. We will have a Blue President which should benefit Blue States......just like Trump's Presidency benefited Red States for 4 years.
