| 2026-04-25 12:48 | Fragel | north or south? |
| 2026-04-25 12:48 | Dumbledore | america is better |
| 2026-04-25 12:47 | Dumbledore | plus, you don't want to live in canada |
| 2026-04-25 12:47 | Fragel | the yard is a jungle! |
| 2026-04-25 12:47 | Fragel | im still waiting on my tax relief for all the trees ive planted! |
| 2026-04-25 12:47 | Dumbledore | what i pay in property taxes for where i live vs the property taxes i pay for my cottage, same formula different numbers |
| 2026-04-25 12:47 | Oldman | ok , well if i have any new properties in canada i will come to you for advice then |
| 2026-04-25 12:46 | Dumbledore | like people who live in or around a major city will always pay higher taxes than those who don't |
| 2026-04-25 12:45 | Dumbledore | it's pretty much the same formula |
| 2026-04-25 12:45 | Oldman | taxes are diff in canada .lol |
| 2026-04-25 12:44 | Lambosling | any hero group |
| 2026-04-25 12:44 | Dumbledore | umm... no i didnt lol |
| 2026-04-25 12:44 | Oldman | you live in texas you said |
| 2026-04-25 12:44 | Dumbledore | im canadian, so never heard of it |
| 2026-04-25 12:44 | Dumbledore | what's satx? |
| 2026-04-25 12:44 | Bannuk | red bracer @2e fol ban |
| 2026-04-25 12:43 | Oldman | SATX |
| 2026-04-25 12:43 | Dumbledore | do you live in a major city? |
| 2026-04-25 12:43 | Dumbledore | im 43 :p |
| 2026-04-25 12:43 | Oldman | i guess i should let my yard die and start calling the cops on people and my taxes will go down |
| 2026-04-25 12:42 | Dumbledore | and yes, some places do tell you why it is your property taxes are getting raised |
| 2026-04-25 12:42 | Event | ^ this is a joke about you being old |
| 2026-04-25 12:41 | Event | taxes might have been different 80 years ago |
| 2026-04-25 12:41 | Dumbledore | plus, you can literally google this lol |
| 2026-04-25 12:41 | Dumbledore | my accountant that's been my accountant since i was 20 lol |
| 2026-04-25 12:41 | Oldman | who told you that ? an irs tax auditor or someone who has been doing taxes for 40 yrs ? |
| 2026-04-25 12:41 | Dumbledore | i have 4 different grocery chains near by, also have 4 different bus routs that take the same amount of time to talk to |
| 2026-04-25 12:40 | Dumbledore | my area is also surrounded by lots of commidies as well |
| 2026-04-25 12:40 | Oldman | i feel you on that one, there is a city waterway on 2 sides of the house and power lines running down part of that |
| 2026-04-25 12:40 | Dumbledore | nope, the houses in my area sell for like 700k |
| 2026-04-25 12:39 | Dumbledore | those services add to the taxes |
| 2026-04-25 12:39 | Dumbledore | there's also lots of trees the city refuse to cut down or even trim, and they damage power lines and homes |
| 2026-04-25 12:39 | Oldman | more likely alot of houses sold nearby that had higher sale prices than what they were orriginally taxxed at |
| 2026-04-25 12:38 | Dumbledore | and because of the amount of elderly people that live in my area, there's and ambulance in my area twice per month |
| 2026-04-25 12:38 | Dumbledore | like for me, my property taxes went up the beginning of the year because of all the police patrols to catch the speeders |
| 2026-04-25 12:37 | Dumbledore | then they run their math that determines taxes |
| 2026-04-25 12:37 | Dumbledore | everything is recorded into a database |
| 2026-04-25 12:37 | Dumbledore | easy |
| 2026-04-25 12:36 | Oldman | how would they have time to check your property condition for millions of homes ? |
| 2026-04-25 12:36 | Dumbledore | crime rate, how many times police/fire/ambulance go to your area |
| 2026-04-25 12:36 | Dumbledore | like i said, there are a number of factors that determine property taxes you pay |
| 2026-04-25 12:35 | Oldman | so hoarders with 8 cars in thier front yard pay less taxes ? |
| 2026-04-25 12:35 | Oldman | then once it sells at a certain price they use that to try to raise the taxes on everyone nearby |
| 2026-04-25 12:35 | Dumbledore | which you're taxed on |
| 2026-04-25 12:34 | Dumbledore | no, that applies to property value |
| 2026-04-25 12:34 | Oldman | thats only real estate |
| 2026-04-25 12:34 | Dumbledore | how your property/neighbours property are maintained |
| 2026-04-25 12:34 | Oldman | nobody come to look at your yard to decide your tax value |
| 2026-04-25 12:33 | Dumbledore | other factors are 911 calls to the area |
| 2026-04-25 12:33 | Dumbledore | that's part of it yes |
| 2026-04-25 12:33 | Oldman | there is a 800k house next to mine and they try to raise my taxes every year . i have to contest the changes every year |
| 2026-04-25 12:32 | Oldman | they set your taxes on property by square footage and other nearby properties value |
| 2026-04-25 12:27 | Dumbledore | and with their property looking deplorable, they will pay less property taxes |
| 2026-04-25 12:25 | Higgu | they did it lay down sod for a green lawn that lasted 6 months |
| 2026-04-25 12:25 | Dumbledore | they did it to lower their property taxes |
| 2026-04-25 12:24 | Draguken | Stabber ISO group. |
| 2026-04-25 12:24 | Higgu | I get that, especially if they have weak root systems or health issues, but that's not why my neighbors did it. |
| 2026-04-25 12:24 | Tempestas | all trees are hazards |
| 2026-04-25 12:24 | Dumbledore | people usually clear the trees because they become hazards |
| 2026-04-25 12:23 | Higgu | I dislike when folks clear the trees in old neighborhoods. Sure. trees can be a pita with the roots and excessive shade, but I'd much rather have them than a bunch of fake green lawns. |
| 2026-04-25 12:21 | Dumbledore | well, that's why houses are built with wood... it's regenerative and sustainable |
| 2026-04-25 12:21 | Mahdi | 35/23 payback now |
| 2026-04-25 12:21 | Tempestas | just the landscape resiliency |
| 2026-04-25 12:20 | Tempestas | when i plant trees on agricultural properties, i never discuss the carbon or oxygen aspect |
| 2026-04-25 12:20 | Dumbledore | 90%-ish of our oxygen come from Phytoplankton |
| 2026-04-25 12:19 | Higgu | the world will be fine. humans might not be, but the world will be fine. |
| 2026-04-25 12:19 | Oldman | and algea which is also declining |
| 2026-04-25 12:18 | Higgu | Scotland has more sheep than people |
| 2026-04-25 12:18 | Dumbledore | you do know that we only get like 10% of our oxygen from trees, right? |
| 2026-04-25 12:17 | Dumbledore | there's also more trees in the amazon than people on the earth |
| 2026-04-25 12:17 | Oldman | human overpopulation and deforestation are real , ignore them at your own peril . i will be dead before the world ends from reckless use of natural non renewable resources :) |
| 2026-04-25 12:17 | Dumbledore | there are more trees in canada than people on the earth |
| 2026-04-25 12:15 | Higgu | oldman yells at cloud. news at 11. |
| 2026-04-25 12:15 | Ohm | Why not both? |
| 2026-04-25 12:15 | Higgu | ofc that's something an oldman would say |
| 2026-04-25 12:15 | Oldman | the world needs less people and more trees im all for it |
| 2026-04-25 12:14 | Mahdi | you get 20k tnl, you get 20k tnl, you get 20k tnl |
| 2026-04-25 12:13 | Higgu | now I'm thinking about Don Cheadle's captain planet running around in avatar turning everyone into Ents: "you're a tree. you're a tree! Tree! Tree!" |
| 2026-04-25 12:12 | Higgu | don cheadle is the best captain planet btw |
| 2026-04-25 12:11 | Mahdi | it was don cheadle |
| 2026-04-25 12:11 | Ohm | He was best frens with a certain financier... |
| 2026-04-25 12:11 | Dumbledore | yupp |
| 2026-04-25 12:11 | Higgu | orly |
| 2026-04-25 12:11 | Dumbledore | yeah, he did some bad thing here in avatar |
| 2026-04-25 12:11 | Higgu | wow. CaptainPlanet is a banned name |
| 2026-04-25 12:10 | Mahdi | and playing a certain tune on the dagger flute irl unlocks secret stuff |
| 2026-04-25 12:09 | Higgu | you have to wear the outfits IRL though |
| 2026-04-25 12:09 | Higgu | power ranger |
| 2026-04-25 12:09 | Mahdi | walker texas rangers |
| 2026-04-25 12:08 | Higgu | new class? Greater Ranger? |
| 2026-04-25 12:08 | Loso | go alrin go! |
| 2026-04-25 12:08 | Loso | nah, it just unlocks new ranger and opens up titan |
| 2026-04-25 12:07 | Mahdi | and snikts basement blows up |
