Last week the Hartford Courant had an article about the cop in Kansas
that
got a new house. A year later, it is still "as seen on TV" but he is
appealing the $4000 property tax bill. These people end up with no
mortgage, but plenty of tax and utility costs.

As if there is some comparison.

I've never seen the show, but in many areas there is a comparison. In some
areas of Houston it is not unusual to find monthly property tax/utility
bills at 97% of the monthly mortgage payment, and rising.

Giving some poor schmuck a new mansion ("new" has a $pecial connotation to
the appraisal districts) and then sticking him with the property tax/utility
bills that go with a big house is typical of the nearsightedness of the
warm-and-fuzzy do gooder mentality.
