Hey, Upper West Siders feeling smug because your property tax bills are lower than the ones across the park, the Upper East Side is about to be laughing in your face. As rent-stabilized apartments go market-rate, property taxes climb, too, which means UWS prewar apartments with $7,000 annual tax bills might soon have to fork over the kind of $20,000 sums paid by UESers. And it's time for the UES to find a new way to seem richer and better than the rest of us. [Brick Underground]
