[quote=Anonymous]Re: "the inn is full" comment above-- true, we've got to deal with the families that are already here. But we don't have to keep approving new development. Right now, the County is predicting that school enrollment won't peak until 2030. Those kids aren't born yet, so they are obviously factoring in some sort of continued housing growth. But they could also just stop capitulating to the demands of developers-- no more subdividing lots, no more trading density for donations to the AH slush fund, no more rezoning commercial to residential. And while they can't control by right development, they can still make the review process a bit more rigorous. (Ironically, it is harder to get approval to renovate your home now than it is tear down an older garden style apartment building and replace it with high-end townhomes.) But all of this would mean that property taxes for the rest of us would go up to offset that developer revenue loss, but we've got to pick our poison.[/quote]
