[quote=AN][quote=bearishgurl][quote=SK in CV]I think you misunderstood BG. I don’t know if a 62 year old house is old. I think 100 year old house is, particularly in SD. 50 years old probably not. I was just asking for opinion. How old is an old house in SD? I don’t know the answer.[/quote]
I consider “old houses” in SD to be older than about 1927 (Arts and Crafts period). The Mills Act requires homes to be 75 years old and their owner to demonstrate through any means that their properties have “historical significance” for its area to qualify for tax abatement (severe reduction).
But there are a LOT of Piggs here (Gen Y?) whom I think would say a 1990’s-built home is “old.” :=D[/quote]
I’m Gen Y and I would say most that are pre 1980 is old.[/quote]
[quote=CA renter]The reason why so many people are paying low/no taxes is because they are too poor to do so. The 1% have managed to off-shore their jobs and destroy their ability to earn enough money to pay taxes in the first place. It’s funny how they try to blame the victims of their profiteering and political corruption. That needs to change.[/quote]
Thank you CA renter -Reducing these numbers to federal tax payers vs. non-payers is a way to justify nothing else but full lack of compassion. To blame others for their lot allows us to absolve ourselves from any responsibility for their need.
