[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you willing to pay a lot in taxes for this? Think about all the county services you get -- 911, fire, police, school budget, etc.. Would they have to buy out all the county owned buildings like the schools?[/quote] Bethesda residents already pay a lot in taxes, I suspect proportionally more than many other parts of the county because incomes are higher. Good question on the school buildings. I guess one could argue that our previous taxes paid for those buildings already.[/quote] Tax rates are the same across the county. You pay more because your home value is higher. That doesn't mean you are due more services. And no, just because you all paid taxes to the county, it doesn't mean you own those schools buildings.[/quote] Right? That was about the dumbest thing I've ever read.[/quote]
