You are so right, Hank (weren't you in Breaking Bad?

). I already calculated that my property tax savings alone would pay for three economy trips to Europe or two first-class.
What's your experience flying east? I know there's a non-stop on Jet Blue to JFK, although it's a red-eye. Landing in NYC at night wouldn't be so horrible because I could hit the ground running, but how are the other eastbound flights?
Many airlines offer cheap fares leaving from Boston, D.C., etc.
