Property taxes are too high, people here loose their homes because they can't afford the taxes. Open a news paper and see all the homes being auctioned at the court house steps. I purchased a home for 160,000 and was paying close to 4,800 in property taxes a year. H.O. insurance, 1200.00 ,car insurance really high a lot of dumb drivers there. Life threating storms:tornados, baseball size hail, black ice, high winds. Climate terrible hot,muggy,jungle heat only April,May,late October are decent. Electrical bills average 450.00 in summer your A/C comes on in May and doesn't stop till late October 24/7. Home apreciation non exsisting your lucky to get back what you paid for it and write off all the taxes you paid you'll wont see that money again. No thanks worst mistake I ever made. Only good thing I enjoyed was the T.C.U. football games that I miss (GO-FROGS) Las Cruces N.M. best place to live for the money.
