Republicans on the campaign: "Vote for us and we’ll reduce inflation!”

 Holy sheet McCarthy’s a dumba**. 

Now let’s hear from some people who make enough to pay income taxes.

Poors hate paying for themselves to live off the government.

I’m just trying to imagine my wife’s Target receipts with 30% tacked on.

Just think back a couple of years. You’re already paying 30% more. Btw, I like shopping at Target. Hot chick central.

I live a minute from the border, so I get the tax free advantages without having to pay DE income tax or actually have to live in DE.

The difference in what I pay in property taxes Vs right across the border (let’s say Hockessin) is still less than what extra I would pay in DE income tax.  Plus the higher property taxes help suppress the cost of a home so I can get much more house for less.

I’ve taught you well paco-son.

In other words - Delaware is only a better place to live if you’re poor and don’t make much money that is subject to income tax and also don’t care how crappy your home is or that you live in Delaware. The only exception to this is the extraordinarily wealthy like the DuPonts or @vikas83

The size of my house in chaddsford would be over a $1M easy even with the same average.  Almost double the average selling price in my neighborhood.  Plus $12k a year in property tax versus my $2500.  I’ll stay here 😂 

sure Income tax is a bit higher. But the cost of living is 1.5% less than PA

Before we start talking comps, how far away do you live from chadds ford?

The quality of real estate in Delaware for the same price in Pennsylvania isn’t even remotely comparable. Also it’s Chadds Ford. If you make a decent salary the savings in property taxes on your crap Delaware property with its crappy neighborhood and baseboard heat doesn’t matter versus what you pay in income tax.

You have a distorted understanding of DE homes.  I have that gas heating.  craps expensive 😂

Less than 2 miles. 

I’m a realtor - I know all about Delaware homes 

It's 23% not 30. I guess it would depend on what's taxed and what isn't.  Are essentials like Food, TP, Baby items taxed? I'd have to see the big picture.  

There are some super duper nice areas in the West Northwest suburbs of Wilmington and still in DE.  Of course i prefer Chadds Ford

Gotcha.  Was curious if you were picking somewhere close since you did list two counties earlier.  Since I don't have more information to go buy I guess I'll take your word, but from personal experience it made more sense for us to stay in PA having looked at homes both where we are at and just across the border.  This was summer 2021, so fairly recent.  Plus like schmoopie said, she's a realtor  

 

But if you are correct, it could be that (and I would defer to schmoopie), that it could be a local thing.  We just want under contract on a shore property in Brigantine.  One thing that we really loved was how low the taxes were.  We also looked at a property in Sommers Point.  The property itself was less expensive but the taxes were more than double.  Same state, just 25 miles away.
