[quote=Anonymous] People in the immigrant/FARMS groups tend to have children younger and have more of them. The people in the non-immigrant groups tend to have fewer children and tend to move out as soon as their children finish school and/or they retire so that they can save for retirement. The immigrant/FARMS groups double or triple up in housing so you have more people per real estate tax dollar. So the situation is getting worse as more taxes have to be generated from the existing housing stock. It's a downward spiral as those who are middle class leave due to higher and higher taxes. You are left with only the rich and the poor, which is a very urban scenario. The county will eventually confront city like problems in financing its schools. The old style "suburbs" are becoming the areas further out. [/quote]
