Great but expensive

I love Mansfield for all kinds of reasons. It has all the feel of a small town, with all the amenities of a medium-sized town. We are lush green, low crime, good roads, great emergency departments, and all you could really ask for. But as we grow, the taxes are becoming unbearable. Our property taxes come to a bottom line of 2-3% of the property value - which is about twice as much as normal - due to numerous schools and hospitals. As another example, water rates have recently doubled and our modest water usage (5k gallons) gives us a bill of $65/month, which is nearly double the cost of last year.
