CAR, from the property tax site shows MR of around $3000/year, which translates to $250 per month.
finding a home without MR within 92009 is difficult, likely a lot older as well. you’ll probably be looking at at least $100k more in purchasing cost. that’s $85/month higher in property tax just because of the higher purchase cost. then you have the higher mortgage from the higher purchase cost as well. all to avoid MR and rumored remote possibility that the MR may be extended when the 30 year bond is complete.
all MR are not created equal. I don’t think in this case the MR should be the deal breaker.
