As far as I can tell most localities basically leave money on the table with high tax rates. Raising property taxes decreases the price of the homes, which in turn results in a damper on revenue. You likely get a small bump in revenue with a rate increase in the short run followed by a decrease in the long run as the home prices stagnate.

I’m so glad that your treatment goes out to 10 years.

My sister’s did not.

It stopped at about 4.

She was DX’ed with stage 4 at 9 years.

Florida couldn’t even be number 1 in that but at least they came close.

Would it be too much factoring in the local taxes?

It would be interesting to add up median state income taxes paid and see how the total tax burden compares to high/low housing costs.

Triple negative is a terrible prognosis. I’m so sorry she went through that. It is so wonderful she survived.

Why are so many places in Idaho so expensive? Would have never thought that.

My apologies. Herceptin saved my sisters life. Now that I see where it is in the timeline, it’s the same course she had. She had the same cancer as you and wrote a book about it. I have no excuse to be so ignorant

Edit : she had triple negative

I know. I would just love to see the Cayman Islands thrown in there. Probably more failed banks with “headquarters” there than in all states combined.

While interesting indeed, the post does specify US states, not even territories, and even leaves out AK and HI.

Being from a state with relatively few counties (24), it seems like these states with ~100 counties but similar population (VA, KY, etc.) must have relatively cost inefficient local government - there must be a minimum staff to handle lawmaking, permits, etc. whether you're servicing 10,000 people or 100,000, right? Regardless of land area, I think I would rather have the economies of scale.

So, as I suspected this is an example of a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_rate_fallacy - there were simply more banks to fail in GA/FL/IL/CA?

Suntrust merged with BB&T to become Truist, they didn’t crash. I also don’t believe the WaMu crash was Florida-specific just single family residential exposure nationwide.

The story I’ve heard is that back in the olden days, they wanted the court house to be a day’s ride away from wherever you lived. Thus many smaller counties and court houses.

Since the Billups Iverson trade really. Our Pistons did go to 6 straight eastern conference finals that ended in 2008.

I didn’t achieve pcr, but hopefully my double mastectomy removed all the cancer. I often consider about how much the cancer would have spread without Herceptin. I don’t think the previous poster , u/gedmathteacher , realizes that triple positive was very aggressive and deadly before Herceptin, which has only been around for twenty years. My husband met one of the researchers who discovered Herceptin, Dennis Slamon, and discussed my therapy with him when I was first diagnosed. TCHP is standard treatment for the vast majority of triple positive cases. The H in TCHP is Herceptin, and TCHP is listed in the first line of the graph.

Herceptin can go by other names, Trastuzumab, Herzuma and Ontruzant, so maybe that’s confusing.

Why not do both.

Have the US annexed the caymans without anyone noticing recently?

No Cayman Islands included in this?

We have tiny counties. I am roughly 15 minutes from 6 different counties not including the one I am in.

Or as a percentage of banks.

Would be interesting to see this adjusted by state population.
