If a doctor gave his opinion that you needed to have a head transplant would you seek out other doctors for their opinion, or just go ahead and have the old one lopped off? Whoever is writing these contracts should just go with the first doc's opinion.
Hey mavis, take a lesson in forestry. Just because a tree has needles on it does not make it a pine tree. The Aspen blight comes and goes but does not necessarily kill the tree.
I think the fascinating part of this is it is being done on the city's insistence. Nothing like turning uphill at napa, going thru zoned industrial, fighting off garbage trucks and semis to get to your new homeoverlooking a trailer park. Can you say term limited city councilman (real estate agent) speaking the truth?
Speaking of being in a hurry. I hope no one else notices that if you drive 22 mph from third going west you will never stop at a light downtown. Take that all you 'Respect Life" license plates holders going 40 thru town.
Do some homework sun. The CDC's standard protocol is to not do additional tests for H1N1. If someone gets extremely sick from a flu bug it is good to know what strain it is. If they just have normal flu symptoms it is a waste of time and money to do additional tests. Some people blame doctors on our high health costs, sounds more it is people like sun.
I think the city should install landscaping, irrigation, sculptures port-o-potties, lighting and a minimum of 15 parking spaces to comply with code and make it a leash free area.(just kidding itis best to just let some things be)
Scott But what if 700 gets built (infrastructure not houses) and nobody comes. If the city has taken on responsibility for the care and maintenance of that infrastructure and there are no additional tax revenues what gets cut. Paul is right there needs to be some sort of tax to cover the basic services provided to all housing and business unit in thcity whether they are occupied or not. What if Wildhorse properties are only owned by people who spend two weeks a year here and decide not to rent out there homes or condos. Property taxes (whether occupied or not) to pay for maintenance and publc safety are a necessary evil. Sales tax paying to provide access to empty homes or condos is not.
Why does switching to a property tax not make sense? If sales taxes are down do you stop plowing roads or turn off the water to condoville. Look at Wildhorse, One house that is not occupied (not sure on the status of the condos) and the city was already plowing the road this winter. Was that cost neutral? What the city's biggest mistake is is forgetting that when you build a new capital project you have to plan for eternity to fund the maintenance and operating budgets or shut it down. Does the Tennis Bubble ring a bell.
