let's not forget property taxes as a factor. It was literally the one reason I couldn't buy a home in VT. My friend lives in Duxbury and pays almost 5k a year for taxes. He has a well for water, his own septic, and lives on a public dirt road. And the local police are the State Police. so what are his taxes going for exactly when he gets almost zero services from the state and town? Schools mostly.

Probably education. More than half of my taxes go to education and our local schools are a mess. I also live on a dirt road but drive on paved roads to get to work so I benefit from local taxes even though they have risen at a faster rate than my salary.
