You have to pay the share that comes with owning your house. PERIOD.
But anyone who has ever bought a house in the past should already know this.
don't like it? Take it up with your city counsel, but I'm sure their answer will be similar to the one I'll give you... which is pretty much TOUGH SHIT.
Rent an apartment or go live with mom and dad if you don't want to pay property and school taxes.

But I think that's what the point of this thread was. To see if there should be a tax for those who have kids as opposed to those who don't. Of course there is no way around it right now, but that doesn't make it right either. I lived in an area with high property taxes. The high school's football field looked like many colleges, they had laptops for all the kids, they had a ridiculous school. This school trumped almost every college campus I had ever been on in terms of technology and newness. Is it really fair for me to fund that when I have no kids attending it and my neighbor has 3?
