Well, heaven forbid that you should contribute to the education of the younger generation as a whole.
In other words your objection to LI property taxes is philosophical rather than budgetary.
Hey, that's okay, whatever floats your boat. At least you're being upfront about it.
You're 50% getting my point. The other 50% is that unless everyone else's pitches in, I'm not pitching in. No point in in paying taxes if my taxes covers those that are squatting next door.
A city tax forces the squatters to pay. Our towns on long island believe that the 1 house = 1 family = 1 husband working rule applies still in todays society where you have 7 families living in Glen Cove or hoards of abandoned homes in Amytiville that we have to pay for.
If they fix their system, I'll pay double what I owe. I still hate paying the tax, but the hate can be combatted with a smile seeing those guys who get by without paying a dime get their share cut.

Do your illegal tenants have kids that attend the public schools?

Such a BS premise. Let's hear the actual numbers of all those "hordes" of homes and kids you're subsidizing with your local taxes. The real numbers don't support your theory. Stick to being a cheap bastard, that at least made sense. If you think your state taxes don't subsidize kids from Herkimer to Hempstead, I have a bridge to sell you. Oh wait, you're paying for those too. People you don't know, crossing bridges all over the state...on your dime!!! Holy shnikees! Watch out for snow. You're paying for municipal rock salt, which then eats your own car!! You probably have your own plow so you should opt out.
You love it here because we ALL pay through the nose to the schools to prop up the value of your modest home and illegal apartment. You're welcome.

Yes but those illegal tenants “getting by” will still cheat the system by using non LI addresses. Plus most of those probably don’t even work at all regardless. An easier fix is, just don’t rent illegally.

Try telling people, an easier fix for the low speed limit is to drive slower and see who will listen. There needs to be a solution that works 80% of the time, not 20% of the time.
Well there is an easy fix. $10k fine for first offense to whoever rents illegally. And $1000 reward to the homeowner who reports it.
Some already tried doing that. I simply didnt let the town inspector in. Case closed, 3 times in first 2 months and neighbors gave up. The neighbors next door are doing the same.
