The perfect place to live is a south Caribbean island populated with only 24 year old gorgeous women (and me) who love to work & love to have "fun". That is, until the South Polar ice cap slides into the sea........
I've not found that place yet.

When we left in 96 the property taxes were nothing short of horrendous. On a house with an assessed value of $150k (market value of around $250k) we were paying $5600/year in property taxes. Ouch. It was especially tough on the retirees and others on fixed incomes. That being said, the schools were nothing short of being top-notch. To get the equivalent quality of education here in Florida, they would have to attend a private school at the tune of about $10k/year in tuition.
