Reply to comment by FBU2004 in CT among the states with the highest tax burden by Kingdavid100

I want as well but come on. Raise ur hand if u can afford a house in a low crime area, standard property taxes?

Edit: i think we are in a state of denial. Taxes make it almost impossible to own. Add insurance, government red tape for small business. CT needs to change

FL housing prices are worse than CT, and their insurance costs are way worse

That’s about supply and demand, not taxes. Miami real estate is insane and unaffordable for most, but taxes are low. What we need in CT is to start building more housing. Too many homes with 2+ acre lots and towns with no industry/commercial activity besides the local supermarket. We need smart development and infrastructure. Housing is unaffordable because we don’t have enough inventory in the areas where the jobs are located. Too many towns that will not approve more housing because “it will change the character”. That’s the whole point. The tiny NE town is unaffordable if nice or an economic backwater otherwise.
