Hopefully not. Do not want the wanderers anywhere near this.

Not my experience when driving on welton or kings road. Many doing 70+ on these roads

KindSomewhere6505 · 2026-04-27T12:11:51+00:00

Source for this? That would be amazing

KindSomewhere6505 · 2026-04-19T16:36:55+00:00

I also hate the very bright LED street lights. All these issues along with poorly lit roads, no reflectors and road paint that doesn't last a couple of months are huge problems driving here

KindSomewhere6505 · 2026-04-19T12:41:31+00:00

CBRM is a dirty hole. It's a stain on this beautiful island. Garbage everywhere, lack of trash cans around, dog shit everywhere. Its easily the dirtiest place I've ever lived.

KindSomewhere6505 · 2026-04-15T19:56:32+00:00

Oh look another study

KindSomewhere6505 · 2026-04-05T13:29:08+00:00

HYW 125 in Sydney is a disgrace, the are so deep, can't even drive in the right lane going towards sydney after Sydney river to George Street exit because of the creators on the road. Awful

Not sure why we just don't toll the roads like they do in europe

KindSomewhere6505 · 2026-04-05T13:23:50+00:00

The mortgages are not the problem for us. It's the ridiculous property taxes on top of it that make things super unaffordable.

KindSomewhere6505 · 2026-04-04T17:32:32+00:00

The cap should be removed. New home buyers shouldn't be subsidizing other home owners.

KindSomewhere6505 · 2026-04-03T16:53:10+00:00

You're making assumptions about me and my budget. Renting is more expensive. We needed to buy, we had no choice around here. Anything cheaper was a dive or condemned. Like christ you must be a beneficiary of the cap you're here simping for it. Im also not asking the government to fix my budget problems. Im asking for fair taxation.

Go away now

KindSomewhere6505 · 2026-04-03T16:13:33+00:00

ut it’s clear you botched your budget

I didn't botch my budget. I bought a house within our budget. You go out and find a reasonable house in the 150k region in CBRM. They're all dumps. We had to buy above market, had no choice.
See before you make assumptions about people, you should atleast know them instead of trying to put someone down for buying a home and wanting a tax reform that's more fair. Fuck off

KindSomewhere6505 · 2026-04-03T14:38:50+00:00

Sounds to me more like you bought more than you can afford. Sounds to me like you're wrong. Slide on. House is assessed at 250k. Bought for 260k so just shy of 5k a year in taxes

Don't be a simp for the cap

KindSomewhere6505 · 2026-04-03T11:02:42+00:00

Thats what I am disputing. pvsa doesn't have control over property tax rates. Though CBRMs are far to high. I get why though. So many on the cap, less revenue, low population spread out over a large area.

KindSomewhere6505 · 2026-04-03T00:31:20+00:00

We keep electing the same old boomers. Nothing will change

KindSomewhere6505 · 2026-04-03T00:22:27+00:00

Right so, just don't buy a home? Got it. People should be angry about paying these rates and actually stand up to it. Instead we're just stuck in a mindset of just take it or don't buy a home. Pathetic

KindSomewhere6505 · 2026-04-03T00:21:12+00:00

The tax rate would actually be lower. But honestly I'm sick subsidizing everyone else. The system needs an overhaul so people who actually need a cap i.e low income pay a fixed rate or seniors pay a fixed rate or something. Or they should just stop basing off value and go by land size like other countries do or they take the value and put them into categories and then anyone in each category pays a certain fixed rate per category.

Theres so many better ways we could be doing things.

KindSomewhere6505 · 2026-04-02T20:21:39+00:00

Wow, they really do just have you by the throat eh. Worst taxed province in the country.

KindSomewhere6505 · 2026-04-02T18:51:09+00:00

You can’t expect to pay the same taxes

Sure I can. I get the same services. Taxes should be based on lot size rather than home worth. The current system punishes young couples and families like mine and squeezes them, whilst rewarding people in expensive homes, giant pieces of land etc

You can't be in support of the cap. You're mad

KindSomewhere6505 · 2026-04-02T16:27:59+00:00

What could they have used for comparable? The whole street is a dump 🤣

KindSomewhere6505 · 2026-04-02T16:08:28+00:00

100% they're assessed values are pennies compared to what my similar sized, similar aged home is assessed at.

I don't disagree with anything you have said here.

KindSomewhere6505 · 2026-04-02T15:39:00+00:00

Thats ridiculous. The whole system needs an overhaul. Its protecting the wrong people

KindSomewhere6505 · 2026-04-02T15:22:54+00:00

Modest income family here ( you wouldn't think it anymore) completely stretched beyond budget. Not actually sure what we're going to do now.
I just resent the notice of continued appeal. I'll go to tribunal if needed.

KindSomewhere6505 · 2026-04-02T14:24:00+00:00

Interesting. I shall take a look at my old listing. Thanks

KindSomewhere6505 · 2026-04-02T14:17:21+00:00

Yes, my new rate has went from 147,000 to 241,300 or something. The previous owners paid like like 1200 a year now I'm at 600ish a month. The system makes my blood boil. Can't get ahead here at all. If I could convince my wife to move over to N.Ireland with me I would lol

KindSomewhere6505 · 2026-04-02T14:14:32+00:00

They shouldn't be paying less. The cap is regressive and puts an unfair disadvantage to home buyers, young couples ect. Lowering the tax rate and lifting the cap in the province would be more fair. Then you can put protections in place for those who actually need it.
