Some of the views expressed on this thread is starting to make me nervous (as a new NH property owner). One of the reasons I bought here was to escape the hi income AND property taxes in NJ. One thing you can take to the bank; as you increase or expand the tax base, the politicians will inevitably spend it or use the extra proceeds to shamelessly buy votes. In a view short years they will again be clamoring with more devious ways to expand the tax base for their "investments".
