HOW DOES YOUR CITY RANK?

So far, New York is the WORST place to live if you aren't trying to go broke. 8.25% sales fucking tax. Nearly 10% of your god damned purchase? And those crime and pollution ratings - damn.

My City isn't on there. cry:

New York is considered one of the safest cities to live in the U.S., thanks to Guliani.

LA has liberals with a 8.25% tax. And a horrible transportation system....Crime may be that 9th safest but we led the country in murders...
Plus while New York protects the statue of Liberty and the brooklyn bridge. We protect Disneyland and Universal Studios......

8.8% sales tax here.

With a below average household income of 55,113, spending more on auto insurance at $722.48. Average house cost $340,291 well above the nat avg.

Pretty fucked up place to live.

w00t Vegas, i think its listed 5th?

Think Bill Gates has something to do with that? oOo:

Ok - regarding NEW YORK. It has a low crime rate PER person. So out of 1000 people, 33 are victimes of crime.

It's crime RISK though tells the full story. 195 versus a national average of 100.

I mean. Really.

Crime wise, VEGAS is almost up there with ST LOUIS which has a crime risk rate of 500 (ST LOUIS). VEGAS has lke 4-something.

When you're able to beat out the Mob capital of the West - you know you're city is FUCKED!

NEW YORK (MONEY Magazine) - Austin residents enjoy the best of both worlds: a stylish, exciting urban life, but without a lot of the hassles big cities are known for.

where do u live again black?

Olympia

You guys are pussies, we pay 14% sales tax (GST & PST).

Wow, surprisingly, Denver is one.

Lucky you, we have 17.5% Value Added Tax in the UK. That means every purchase you make they add 17.5% to it.

I'd take 8-10% anyday.

Yeah, europe typically has much higher taxes than the US, but that doesnt stop us from complaining about ours.

Our city sucks its like divided by one free one part is bad the rest is brand new.

We have a 9% sales tax here in my town. However, with the addition of a HUGE Mercedes plant about 15 minutes away from town a few years ago, it has helped our city income a lot. Jobs have increased, average income has increased, and we are the only place in the world that manufactures the M-Class (ugly ass crappy car but oh well thats the only thing we're good for). biggrin:

NY is the 6th safest state, and the 11th safest city (NY's 5 boroughs). As for the tax, yes that sucks, but that's why NJ's so close. biggrin:

~10% would be nice. It used to be 17,5% here, as it is in the UK.

One year ago they changed it. 19% now. Food and stuff (nót liquor) is only 4% though.

So, almost 1/5 of spent money on, say, a T.V. ---> The Treasury.

Boston has 5% tax on everything (income, sales, etc.). But it says we are 1,168/1,224 for the personal crime risk, with 238. I have always felt safe though.

10% Goods and Services Tax here, methinks. Ironic that the Anti-GST thing was one of John Howards major points during one of the elections... oOo:

antwerp was the cultural capital off europe (intresting isnt it biggrin: )
