The reason our county is broke is because of emotional responses like this.  Math doesn’t have feelings.   [/quote]

Every community needs housing for people with a variety of incomes. That's not an emotional response, that's a reality. You suggesting we shouldn't have renters in MoCo is not a math-based assertion, it's just ignorant and hateful.[/quote]

There’s a lot of daylight between “appropriately balanced” and “shouldn’t have” any.  Fight the emotional reflex.  [/quote]

What "balance" would you like? [/quote]

DP. Since the local budget is driven mostly by the school budget, large commercial apartment complexes don't pay enough in taxes for the school resources they consume. Outdated assessments and tax forgiveness for developers just exacerbates the problem.[/quote]

okay so you don't like renters. What percentage of renters versus homeowners will you tolerate?[/quote]

Not many. The 220 unit apartment building near me pays $90,000/year in taxes. That's $409 per unit every year for all the county services they use.[/quote]
