What is the norm in the US? How much percent-wise do people spend on their rent/mortgage? About half of my paycheck after taxes goes to that, and I have a fairly cheap apartment (Sweden).

Yeah property tax is ridiculous. The hotel I work at pays 65,000 in property tax per year.

Yeah, to bad there isn't a bunch of bizarrely rich corporations you could tax to finance your schools .. oh wait.
