I mean I was lucky at my highschool in the 90’s but it was all home cooked.
My kids have multiple days a week where a place like Chik filet (Friday’s) will come in.


CP pretty much gets catered food. Costs me $5.50 a day for a 7 year old.

Some of the highest property taxes in the country lets the locals build lots of stuff.

Most of Louisiana's tax goes to Baton Rouge first.

No state income tax. How much are property taxes?


People act like no state income tax is a big thing but they are paying taxes in other ways. The government is gonna get their money one way or another.

How many public high schools are in AP? I can't imagine that many to begin with, and I'm not aware of any private ones.

When I moved from Louisiana to Texas, my TX property taxes were as much as my LA income and property taxes combined in Louisiana. My home value was exactly the same as it was a Louisiana. It’s a wash. It does seem like more of your taxes stay local though. However, there is a Robinhood Act that sends some of your taxes to poor counties.

Not so much the fast food, but if LA High schools had these kinds of sports facilities maybe we wouldn’t be churning out so many fatties

You dumb non Texans and this shite, for the thousandth time in the last 30 days. Property taxes in most of DFW are near 2%. Yes, my old neighborhood in the Houston Burbs was 3.5%, but I also could have done some research, lived a mile away, and paid 2%. The last income tax I paid in LA was 6.5% (frick you, Stelly.) Property taxes are a choice, income taxes are not.

I don't give a shite if Jimmy Johns opens a restaurant in a high school. Nobody cared when Chik-Fil-A opened a restaurant inside the LA Tech union almost 30 years ago.

I don't give a damn that Academy sponsored the local billion dollar bullshite boondoggle of a high school stadium in Katy. Taxpayers vote for bond issues, and the dipshits in Katy/Fort Bed see "school" on anything, and they'll vote for it.

DFW pays far lower taxes, and they have far more facilities for kids than Houston. People come in from as far (at least) as Colorado to the DFW area for lacrosse tournaments with THOUSANDS of people.

As cool as it would've been to have a Sonic or Jimmy John's in my high school, is anyone concerned with how fat the kids are getting?

I would gladly take that.

Higher property tax, but LA still pays property tax
No income tax, at least 4% in Louisiana
Sales taxes are lower
