But the dollar amount (and definitely as a percentage of FMV) in Brooklyn is very low.
NYC income tax.

That depends on taxable income. While property taxes are irrespective of income.

Of course. My point is that for the average joe, you can't look at property tax alone.

Only in NY, not in CLE :P

It is very rare to have a total blackout in NYC. Though on occasion, due to old infrastructure, something very localized could happen. I lost power to my house a couple of months ago due to two wires feeding into my house burning out. And a couple of years ago several blocks in my area lost 1 phase of power, so some parts of the house worked and some didn't.

Does a flicker constitute a blackout ? I don’t remember a blackout since the big one.

No. It doesn't.

Some areas lost power during hurricane Sandy, that was more recent than the big one.

Clearly I wasn't talking about a blackout if you read the comments.
A flicker is enough to turn off a desktop.

A laptop is much better off than a desktop, but it's not foolproof.
Wasn't talking about a laptop though.
Commenter claims the lights never flicker off in Brooklyn. Hence:

Near the water. More inland was fine IIRC

I won't say it never happens, but honestly I can't remember the last time it happened. I haven't been using a UPS for at least 5 years and I can't remember having a problem because of not having one.
