[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Does your neighborhood pay for itself?

Mine doesn't. We live in McLean and the our neighborhood of about 40 houses are in the $800-$900 range, with half a dozen over $1.5m. 34 children attend public school- 3 special needs of which I am aware. Our neighborhood property taxes do not even cover the school costs - it has been this way since mine started 12 years ago and will continue into the future. We have 4 graduates this year and next Sept, 4 kindergarteners - an even swap. Plus, two retirees just sold their houses - so I expect more to come next year. Condos and rentals are not the only places that have burgeoning enrollments. [/quote]

You don't purchase anything either?  1%of sales tax goes to Fairfax County.

I suspect your neighborhood is paying way more than its fair share.[/quote]

I don't purchase enough to cover the rest.  My house has two students in school, that alone is $26k a year.  We pay $8500 in property taxes.  1% of our income is not enough to make up the differnce, let alone 1% of what we spend.  I would wager to be my neighbors do not spend enough to cover the difference either. [/quote]
