House Prices in Various U.S. Cities 

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like the videos!

idk why the algorithm took so long for him to catch on. i got it a couple weeks ago and was shocked to see only like 3k subscribers

@@UserName-ts3sp same here subbed like 2 weeks ago and he was at 16k

I live in one of the most expensive areas in the bay. I live in a house built in the 30s 1900 sq ft 3/2 1.7 million value. Mind u this is a suburb not downtown. It is ridiculous

I'm from New York City

I live in Seattle and our housing market is starting to catch up to San Francisco

Hawaii: Watch this. Hold my beer.

He's getting there in no time. I started watching his vids last week and he was only at around 25k subscribers.

@@ML-ir5vo same was first of 👀 of them

I subbed like a week ago. Enjoy geography and maps.

hes not a brother

@@quanbrooklynkid7776 Clearly; the point wasn't to issue him an N.A.A.C.P.-accredited "black card", son🤣 Rather, I call him brother because anyone who works hard at any positive endeavor that benefits society as a whole (even if in a minuscule capacity--but that's subjective), is a "brother" in their own right; hence, "brother", and not "brotha"...brotha. Come on, Brooklyn--you know that. Philly knows you're higher mind than that🧠🧠🧠

I do too. We promote a sort of notion that your property is your property. But there are many laws and rules that say otherwise. As for taxes, what convinces most people to have them (other than a means of revenue for the local government) is that without them, extremely wealthy people would likely sink most of their money into property, and then monopolistically force out everyone else, driving up prices with all profits going to the land owners. I wish to that end there could be like "First 3,000 sq. ft. free" kind of rule but then people would just put property in different names and businesses.

I guess we really break from England in the Revolutionary War, did we? Property taxes were how the Crown raised more money. Too many of our elected officials think they are royalty, too.

Well... You still kind of use surrounding infrastructure which is built and maintain with taxes. There are also public and private services you access that may be completely or partially funded by taxes.

@@porcorosso4330 Then those other goods and services can be paid for with the multitudes of other taxes we pay, but let my property be MY property. A store doesn't continue to charge you fro a product once you've already bought it. Why should I continue to be charged for what I already own?

@@spooder_jockey Basically a lot of places only have property tax and sales tax for local local government. There is not really much guarantee that people spend money in their district, so property tax might be the only way to collect taxes consistently. Even with other taxes, there are still a lot to pay for. Training program for firefighters to save you when there is a fire. Maintenance for their equipment. Same for cops to enforce the law. Also social services that hopefully keep kids from abusive parents, guide homeless or mentally ill people to help, etc. Public schools that educate future doctors, nurses, accountants, bankers, waitress, baker, farmer... There are also a lot of other local government functions. Court houses, water districts, zoning, city planning, health department... We actually expect a lot of things from the government and we either directly or indirectly use a lot of these public services. Property tax is at about 1% usually, so it is not that high if your think about it. So you need to pay for a new home every 100 years. (ish) But sure, taxes can be lower and there are many other ways to collect taxes. Property tax might not be the best way to collect taxes.

I wish St. Louis was a little less dangerous, it does have some charm and potential but right now it's not living up to it whatsoever. Kansas City needs a little improvement too but not nearly as bad.

St. Louis suburbs are nice what you talking about?

@@borllin1 isn’t that everywhere

Easy way to stop the crime. Start executing people. Pretty simple.

That would be cool. Great Idea!

Thank you!

@@BezmenovDisciple No? "Growing" refers to channel growth, "man" refers to Kyle.

Wtf is your profile pic

A lot of people think Atlanta is cheaper than that. Not sure why... maybe the generalized stereotype of the South being cheap. People from New York or California love to gush about it.

@@andydrew03 i knew atlanta was getting expensive but i thought it would be more like an average of 300-350k

@@dahl2525 epstein didn’t kill himself + mocking george floyd and BLM

@@andydrew03 yeah it’s weird because Atlanta has always been more modernized than most of the South. Atlanta is growing like crazy

That is dirt cheap. In Seattle that's probably close to a million dollar house

You got robbed!

Thank you!

@@GeographyKing Kong de

The Midwest is without a doubt the cheapest region of the country as a whole. Wages are higher than the South with equal house prices. But it's mostly supply and demand. Many of the counties in the region are losing population.

@@GeographyKing for sure. I'm just in high school but my dads house in Wisconsin is just $190,000 and many parts of the country would be $500,000 or even a million is some really expensive places. Wisconsin taxes are relatively high however.

Just nitpicking a lil bit, but converting sqm to sqf is not just multiplying it by 10. just so you know.

@@TheUnshatterd the factor is 10.76, since all the figures are rough estimates anyway, I found simply using factor 10 more than accurate enough.

They are, and I'm definitely not a fan of property taxes but keep in mind it's not just income taxes that are higher in Europe it's also your sales tax (VAT) which higher. So your property tax savings don't make up for it. And especially if you rent.

Hola soy

Yeah the house in valley stream he posted I drive by a lot actually

I'm glad you did too!

Buckhead is one of the wealthiest parts of Atlanta. That’s why it’s expensive. Also, buckhead is not the suburbs. The suburbs are usually considered outside of the perimeter (285).

Thank you!

Nnnnnm M

Thank you for your comment and suggestions!

@@GeographyKing I'm happy you will consider my ideas and that you can remain interactive with your audience considering your growth.

I'm just going to chime in with Beartooth Highway from Billings Montana to Yellowstone National Park. Quite possibly one of the best one day trips over mountains in the country.

Not really. My state is $7.25 and I got hired at $8.50 being a busboy at 15. 6 months later I was at $10. 7.25 is bellow market value so barely anyone is hired at that. Setting a price floor decreases job, and for rural areas a job is more important than $15hr.

But how do you feel about high income tax and property tax Mr. Washington?

Thank you!

Might be stacks of cash in the vents though!

And the last one looks like Hank's

Agreed

i was considering moving to atlanta after i finish college... but i guess not

Lived here my whole life, it’s not that bad. But then again I live in the west end soo

Thank you. I'll be posting more often but have been trying to take a deep breath regarding the recent growth and keeping up with the comments. With more viewers I want to be more consistent with releasing videos but I'm still trying to figure out the details.

Thank you for your comment. Good choice to pick Hawaii to avoid high property taxes. It's the lowest property tax state in the country

Nah probably not. Massive supply shortage

depends of years of service.

Pray

Probably depends on the city. Austin pays higher wages but is much more expensive to live in

Thanks man!

Thank you!

Born in Akron, raised in Cinci and have spent a significant amount of time in all three major “C metros”. While Cleveland has a lot of proud & loyal folks who swear by their city, their economy is holding neutral with white collars doing alright and most blue collars decline, equalizing the city. Cincinnati imo has the most flavor/personality and definitely the most history given our access to the Ohio river. Plenty of opportunity here but you have to give the economic nod to Columbus as the states capital & Ohio State and great proximity to other midwest cities of Detroit, Pitt, Cleveland, Cinci, Toledo, Indy all within about 2 hours.

Ohio always seemed weird to me somehow but I gotta give credit where it's due. Columbus has kinda got it going on.

much of the state is post-industrial wasteland (especially youngstown, but also cleveland/akron/toledo). there’s a reason most of the state is ridiculously cheap. jobs moving to china.

I live in Columbus, Ohio it's true properties are affordable & plentiful, employment and higher education opportunities are also good ( even under our current circumstances). Also there's lots of social services, as far as safety it could use a little work....

Thank you very much!

I remember watching this channel a couple years ago when he bashed the hell out of my city (Orlando) lol. Other than that its a great channel!

Thank you! Welcome to the channel!

I'll likely have a follow up to this one with more cities.

Yeah, compare the secondary markets like Salt Lake City and Omaha to the primary ones, and see how the homes compare. Midwest States have super high property taxes, because they don't tax the farmers on their land but they need infrastructure for the rural areas, so they raid the people of the cities and take their money. 4 grand a year property taxes on my house in Papillion, NE. I live in Ogden, UT now and pay 3 grand a year for twice the square footage, and paid 1600 a year in Gulf Breeze, FL for the same sized house as NE. But Florida doesn't abuse its citizenry, they let the tourists pay the taxes.

Thanks man. The past month has been crazy with activity. Keeping up with the comments has become a part time job! But I'm excited about where the channel is and glad that people find the videos interesting. I really appreciate the support from people like you that have been with the channel for a while giving me encouragement.

Thank you! I'm glad you like the videos. Sydney does seem really expensive. Without knowing much about Australia I think I'd be more of an Adelaide or Perth guy.

@@GeographyKing Well, er, thank you. I went to the American School in Vienna in 1971-2 and let's just say Geography was a giggle for the Europeans, (me), lots of US students there were avoiding the Vietnam war draft, and not one of them could put their finger on where Vietnam was on the map...the Mekong delta...forget it. Adelaide is cheaper, but a very, very quiet city. Perth is large, surprisingly expensive, but half empty as most of the people who own houses there work on their stations (ranches) or in the mines or at sea. There are some lovely houses in Perth, Plumeria everywhere, fabulous beaches, think Hawaii without tourists.

It has above average crime for a town its size but I'm not sure of the details as to why. It can be a little rough and tumble so I'm not sure if drunken fights/assaults or drugs are a big problem, just a guess. Honestly I'd say SE New Mexico is my least favorite part of the state but the climate is nice and the mountains are close.

Actually the core City center tend to have lower property taxes. for example New York City proper has some of the lowest property taxes in the nation. The problem has to do with suburbia and the fact that suburbia is not economically sustainable. To build 1 mile of road or pipes etc cost the same in the suburb and in the city center. The only difference is in the city, that cost is divided by hundreds of thousands of people. While in the suburbs only a couple of houses are along that mile of Street. I strongly recommend you watch a couple of videos from the organization called strong towns. They break down why suburbia and new suburbia development are cancerous for any government

Maybe it has to do with population density also? Highest population density in the states (1.6k people per square mile) and relatively close to large and famous cities, as well as having rich people from both living there.

@@SofaSpy +1 for the Ponzi scheme of the suburban development pattern

Yeah, I grew up in central NJ; my folks were paying nearly $20K in property taxes before they sold the house in 2016, which is just excessive. It’s not like I grew up in a mansion. The public schools in the towns with high property taxes are generally excellent, so there’s that, but still.

Visalia looks amazing. It's outside of the posh, steep priced famous city areas but close enough that a nice little road trip gets you to any of them. Glad you enjoy it there.

You also live in Atlanta? Let's get a coffee 😉

@Nephunc Gaming I just wanna get a coffee 😞

@Nephunc Gaming hahaha

SYNCHRONICITY!!😯🥳

I LIVE NEAR ATL TOO

That's interesting to hear. I wasn't aware of that but it doesn't surprise me either.

It's always been increasing because of Massachusetts people

Good luck with that

I'm a new sub. All hail the algorithm I guess haha

Thank you! It's been a real challenge trying to keep up with the comments

They’re about even but Columbus is on more on an upward trajectory.

@@eriklakeland3857 Yeah I guess St. Louis and Detroit are cheap as well, but they're not up and coming like Columbus. At least Indy is decent though.

indy is cheaper because it's a bigger city with large variety of different property taxes in indy! While Columbus is smaller and populated which taxes are usually higher than they are to a average indy house...

Carmel, Indiana routinely does well on the “best places to raise a family” lists. Great infrastructure, network of trails, good cultural institutions. Close to Indianapolis. I recommend the Arts and Design District.

@@eriklakeland3857 okay, thank you for that info! I would research about Carmel

*cries in New York

Seattle does have high wages but is still one of the most expensive big cities. Cincinnati is one of the least expensive big cities and Ohio in general is pretty cheap right now. So the discrepancy is pretty high.

Thanks!
