We were bailing out water until 1 a.m. and pumping out the basement. I can't figure out why everyone else pays city taxes but mine are four or five times higher because I have to spend $4,000 every four years to fix my house. I thought taxes fixed problems like these.

Even a lot of old salts are bailing out. I don't know if it's some vibe they feel or something.
