[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]As an aside, low rise garden apartments pay 16x more than SFHs in real estate taxes per acre. High rise apartments/condos pay 116x more in real estate taxes than SFH per acre. If you want more real estate taxes for schools, you want more apartment buildings. Too bad that doesn't play into your narrative. [/quote]

I question some of those "facts"

It is a fact that denser development yields more tax money for the municipal government. However, gone are the days where singles and young newlyweds occupied apartments and condos - families are filling them now.

Dense development (i.e. older garden apartments) in my area seems to yield 1-3 children per unit, which is highly problematic and does not AT ALL fit to FCPS' yield formula of .325 students per unit for garden apartments.

They need a much more complicated yield formula than the one they have currently. [/quote]
