What's this?

Um, you just listed off state capitals


Paris? yep
London? yep
Tokyo? yep
Istanbul? yep
Rome? yep
Johannesburg? yep
Beijing? yep
Moscow? yep
Mexico City? yep
Seoul? yep

Just about every nation's capital is populous and generally more prosperous than other cities in its country. This isn't anything unique. The sky is not falling. R-E-L-A-X

  My view isn't a hot take - lived there 10 years -- RTFC 12/07/2017 10:48PM
  It’s expensive because of the salaries and government -- HokieHutch 12/07/2017 8:32PM
  Yes, and the higher economic value is due to STABILITY. ** -- wansapana 12/08/2017 11:38AM

  I was thinking average taxes paid, not the total amount. ** -- HokieNoVA 12/07/2017 10:03PM
  A half a cent per hundred? So $25 per $500k. Stop whining! ** -- 133743Hokie 12/07/2017 8:27PM
  You're right, only equates to a $1.6B difference for the county -- TheNuke 12/07/2017 8:55PM
  Your point? ** -- 133743Hokie 12/07/2017 9:59PM
  That the half cent adds up -- TheNuke 12/07/2017 10:34PM
