  Yea generally electronics is depreciated every 3 to 5 years. But I can imagine that after 3 years of children usage they are done for. That aside though, I think what you would be more looking for is a fair tax system.

  What I think that the problem with local property taxes is that if a city relies on it too much to pay for everything then this causes too many issues. For a poor city this could mean that if they don’t increase the taxes they can’t afford basic school care which people expect. So they moved to riched areas who can provide that. Or they move because of the higher taxes. This in turn lowers the property value and decreases the taxes further. Which in turn increases the problem.

  So I believe the educational budget should be provided by the central government so the same kind of quality in schools is given nationwide. This can of course be applied to other costs a city is making.

  In addition to this I think a property tax should be progressive and link to your overall assets. If you just own one house and you don’t have any more assets.

  The biggest problem I have with the 45$ is not for me buying it but it makes it very difficult to convince most of my friends to buy it just to try it out. And multiplayer does make this game much nicer.

  That’s very easy to say if it wouldn’t gas meant for most people these days that they be in even more debt if they did so. That is just not the risk people from non rich families can take.
