So what is the $3,000 in taxes i pay every year going to, other than stupid arse libraries, public schools and CATS, of which i use none of, and never will?
It depends where you live, but if you live inside the BR city limits property tax payments go to the EBR parish School system, CATS, BREC, the Library System, EMS, City Police, Fire Protection and the General fund.

They will regret paying $225k for that 1800 sq ft faux French home that comes with an hour commute.

Next time I see the "hot gilf walking class" on the calendar, I'll bump this thread so you can go check them out.
Again, not judging in the slightest. We all have our quirks.

I'm looking at a 3 bed, 2 bath 2000 sq ft home in Katy, in good school districts. Asking price is $185k.
I would be leary, to say the least, of purchasing that home. It could be made of shite materials and will be falling apart in no time.
Houses here are cheap compared to out west or east.

Maybe you should have gone to the library before posting this.

Isn't that what Denham Springs was becoming before the floods?

Cities and areas like Denham, Gonzales, Dutchtown, Walker, Watson and St. Amant serve a vital need.
They offer safe, close knit communities with good schools where middle class families can afford to live. BR Metro and its institutions and area businesses depends on these places for workers.
Hopefully the areas slammed by the flood can bounce back. without them BR Metro is going to suffer.

Only because the plants don't count the contractors on site as employees under there and all of the state employees are counted as being employed by seperate employers broken down by agency.

For 125/sq in the Austin metro, you're getting a POS.
Feel free to elaborate on how this $230k 1900 sqft home just 12 miles from downtown Austin/UT/large tech industry is a POS when compared to a typical 1900 sqft home in plain cookie cutter neighborhoods in Watson and Walker that are 25 miles from BR/LSU/hospitals/plants.
LINK
Or this home, built in 2014, with better schools than any public school districts in Louisiana that is 21 miles from DT Austin and even closer to the tech parks in north ATX and Round Rock? It's only $102/sqft which gives room for updates.

That home would be $25k more in Watson after the flood. WATSON for Christ's sake.

First of all property taxes on that 230K home in texas will run you around 8-9K a year...while in Denham Springs they would be less than 2K....so there's that.
Second, don't be so quick to dig on Watson or other communities like it. Live Oak Schools are every bit as good (especially demographics) when compared to these schools on the outskirts of Austin. I haven't checked the test scores of each but that doesn't necessarily tell the whole story. Zachary has the best test scores in the state and with the recent demographic changes there I would be hesitant to head in that direction.
I'm sure that your rebuttal will touch on the lack of income taxes here but unless your household income is greater than 150k a year the Louisiana route is cheaper..
Basically, Louisiana housing is more affordable for the lower income worker when property taxes are also considered.
Lastly, you mentioned "cookie cutter" neighborhoods in Watson....what's funny is the houses you just put up in those links are the definition of cookie cutter....pressboard cabinets with carpet/tile floors in that price range bud.

Absolutely.

Im not talking about low income housing. A low income person by BR standards shouldn't be spending $230k on a home 20+ miles from their job site.
A person performing your typical white collar job in Austin will make at least a few grand more, btw.

Yeah, you might have the demographics part right if you love you some white people, but don't fool yourself into believing that just because people pimp these school systems as being among the best in the state that they are really anything special.
