Thank goodness you got out of there when the getting was good!Wow! 9k! I have a nice house in a good area and pay $3K each year. No state taxes, either...TennesseeSpeaking the truth always hurts the Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrats. In this particular case Trump is correct. Cuomo preferred to invest in failing Solar and Wind technology in Buffalo rather than invest in Public Health Planning. Like all loser gamblers now he blames others for his decisions and losses....
In 2014, New York “partnered” with Soraa, a California light-bulb company, to build a $90 million factory outside Syracuse. Soraa promised to bring more than 400 jobs to the region and agreed to rent the facility for $1 annually. Just as the finishing touches were put on the plant, Soraa pulled out of the deal, leaving New York’s taxpayers with an empty light-bulb factory.

Six months after a celebrated groundbreaking, Ams cited “delays” as their reason for saying goodbye to upstate. The state is “working tirelessly on potential alternatives” for the site.
Cuomo launched the infamous Syracuse Film Hub, which was funded with $15 million of public money and built by Cor Development — whose executive Steve Aiello was convicted of bribery in the Percoco case. “Hollywood comes to Onondaga!” exclaimed Cuomo. “Who would have ever guessed?”

That's exactly what I've been writing about. Had the Governor been more precise and specific in his dealings and commitments from these companies perhaps the deals would have been finalized and improved the employment for the people in Upstate NY.
Just as Cuomo refused to extend pipelines and fracking within the state. The people of the state outside New York City continue to suffer and there is an exodus.
Personally I was able to sell my home and 50 acres and move to North Carolina in 2019. The State, County and Local school taxes were extremely high. I no longer have to pay nearly $9,000 in taxes each year.
That is why I sold out and moved to N.C.... Downsizing was a little difficult....
