Hemi vs Cummins

arizona is too hot for me lol I can't stand the heat in texas..
 
The issue in Texas for me, are the property taxes. We quickly started to look into Tennessee, and found a nice 1/2 acre with a newer home in Kentucky, just north of Nashville TN. The property taxes in Texas for a new home owner (not a brand new home) can easily be over $5K a year. But the laws are acceptable and the citizens are nice folk.
 
prop tax is a major p.i.t.a. in texas... among other states. my ag exemption saves my arse with my farm land...
 
Yah Texas is terrible. No need for anyone else to move here and have to live like this.












Cummins > Hemi

Don't get me started. Our property tax is 6K plus when you add on the fire district special assessment and other special assessment items. I can't stand the government and cost of living in Kalifornia but I do love my area. I can be at the ocean 15 - 20 minutes, at the top of a 6,000 ft mountain in 40 minutes (by dirt even) and in the wide open desert in under 90 minutes. The politicians in the state are ruining the place and I don't see it changing in my lifetime.

Our plan is to leave in a few years and it will be on a boat. Although even that is an issue. The state wants to charge 7.75% sales tax on the boat as well as a property tax. Handing over $70K in sales tax is insane. If we do an offshore delivery the boat has to stay out of CA for at least a year to avoid.
 
Georgia is great, was such a well kept secret.

but, everybody is moving here now so it won’t last. Property tax has tripled since I bought my home in 2009

This thread has turned from a Hemi vs Cummins thread to a California vs Everywhere Else thread.

I'll chime in. While not as bad as California, western Washington sucks...

Everybody moved on because it has been determined that a Cummins is better than a clapped out hemi. Now it is about which state sucks the soul out of your life the most.

I don't think anybody can objectivly say Hemi is worse than cummins. Its all predicated on individual situaltional circumstances and epa policy in the area you live. Some gas makes more sense than diesel
 
I did find a fantastic desert oasis called cloudcroft, in n.m. anyone been to that area?
 
sounds like some of you guys live in really nice places....Montana really sux high taxes on everything, terrible crime rate and meth is through the roof. News does not report it but highest murder rate in the nation. $500,000 will get you a 1/8 acre with a trailer house on it. if you like guns better not come here they actually go door to door and make you turn them and you have to pay a gun tax to get them back....I heard Wyoming was pretty nice tho....

Prescott area is nice, I live in Show Low and like it better, a little higher altitude and maybe more actual ponderosa pine forest.

100 miles to Sky Harbor isn't too awful bad from Prescott. Looks like 3 hours from Show Low.
