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.


Maybe the taxes and utility bills do up, but they probably aren't as high
as the former mortgage and taxes combined unless someone had a pretty
inexpensive house.

They could tone down the ceiling heights in the houses they build. A 20
foot ceiling is going to cost an arm and a leg to heat/cool.
