“Disappointment equals expectation minus reality.” -Chip Conley, Emotional Equations

States like New Jersey and Texas have property tax rates four times higher than Colorado. (And, suspend your judgment about living in Texas or NJ- I spend time in both places and they have lots to recommend them. But no,…
