After this year's 21% tax hike, and the promise of another whopping tax hike next year, homes in unincorporated Greenburgh this spring have become a much harder sell, even in pricey Edgemont. This is partly due to the lousy economy, of course, but buyers from other parts of Westchester County in particular (as opposed to NYC) seem to know all about Greenburgh's problems, including its flaky town supervisor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594888.post-52929438830713399992008-07-19T17:38:00.000-04:002008-07-19T17:38:00.000-04:00Read Money mag.
