Taxes reason for new home slump

To the Editor:
This is in reference to a story about Southampton County experiencing a 15-year low for new-home starts in 2011. (“New-home starts slump,” Dec. 28).
The reason this is happening is because we are paying high taxes, and property and real estate are being devalued and going down.
