The other cause for angst in Charlotte is the methodology in apprasials. So random and iffy.

If a board raises taxes on themselves via their own property going up the mine or scrums is one thing. These cat brazenly lied to do whatever.

Ask for forgiveness not for for permission. The govt and corporate way.

Lived in McHenry County Illinois....city called Crystal Lake (suburb of Chicago) in 2008.

I had a $700k house and my property taxes were just under $18k per year.

Most expensive tax county in Chicagoland....but the schools were some of the best in the country.

This conversation reminds me of the Brian Reagan bit:

"Oh yeah, Thats nothin!"

Not really.

More that it shows that Charlotte's property taxes are actually pretty low compared to other places in the country.

If you have not lived elsewhere, you don't understand that.

Just like I used to bitch about rush hour traffic in Charlotte. That is until I had to drive in rush hour traffic in Chicago. Now, Charlotte traffic looks like just a little back up.....not real traffic.

Yep. After living in DC, I've decided Charlotte traffic is nothing. 485 in South Charlotte is the only area where traffic compares to being as bad as in DC, but you only have to suffer through it for 2-3 miles instead of 15-20.

As far as taxes go, I don't mind what I pay. My market value and assessed value are pretty close to one another, so no surprises from the tax man for me.

Total taxes in Charlotte are like 1.3%. I'll gladly pay the extra few hundred a year to live in the heart of Charlotte than bum-fug Union, Cabarrus, York, or Gaston county and suffer through traffic every day...and drive 20 miles any time I want to go out to eat at a restaurant that isn't on the corner of every street in suburban America.

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
