My favorite commercial ever. But hear me out.
Not sure if this should stay here or in clubhouse.
1. Tony Soprano would NEVER drive an EV (this isn't an EV debate, it is what it is). Regina King should have waited and done the commercials for the EV and this should have been an Escalade commercial because that's what Tony drove. Maybe a good way to showcase SuperCruise.
Also, wasn't there EZ-Pass back in the late 90s? Love how when the part Tony lights up his cigar, Meadow has a lollypop.

It was so so but it was great to hear the song and see Meadow.
Tony would definitely never drive EV but it fits Meadow’s character.
The show was incredible but probably would not be allowed to air in today’s “PC culture.” Almost everyone can find something to be offended by in almost every episode.

Going to disagree with this one. All but one of my employees and the vast majority of the people I work with live in this area, most have been there all their lives. They ***** about taxes like anyone else, but they're nothing like you describe. Most think my $10k/yr bill in IL is insanely high. That aside, $500k houses in that area are not the norm by any means, most are quite a bit less. There are a couple of $2M mansions for sale there right now though that have ~$30k/yr property taxes. Double that for 1/4 the value? Hardly.

Stop telling me I’m making stuff up, just leave that out of your posts please in the future if you don’t believe me. Why would I lie? I don’t question the integrity of your posts.
Do you want my inlaws’ phone number?
It’s between 6-7 grand for my MIL and FIL for a very modestly priced house. Webster NY look it up.

I'm not the only one who commented the same thing. Yeah...6-7 grand. You said 60 grand. Real estate takes are not over 10%.

10k a year for a 400k house is ridiculous too. That sounds about right, maybe a little low. Almost a grand in property taxes a month? Pass.

I just looked up the home of one of my coworkers, which is a fairly large 4bd/3ba on a half acre at the north end of town, just south of Webster park. Current value is about $330k, County/Town taxes are $3,775, school taxes $5,325, for a total of $9,100. Not $40,000.
I'm not discounting whatever your MIL/FIL's situation is. I can't tell you what the cause of that is. But I know literally hundreds of people in Webster and surrounding towns (Rochester, Fairport, Victor, Penfield, Irondequoit, Pittsford, Brighton, Greece, etc). I know exactly what several of them make, and roughly what most do, and I can promise you they're not paying $10-12k per year per $100k of home value. That is absolutely not the norm.

I know this response was not to me, but I have looked several up. You can look up any property tax in Monroe County (including Webster) using the assessor's website: https://www.monroecounty.gov/etc/rp/search.php
