Unless I misunderstood the step toward reclamation of the Idaho Pole Yard
will involve the possibility of my taxes being used to support its development.
Succinctly, I’m sick of seeing my taxes going up and being told that it’s to
support new infrastructure. If someone wants to take advantage of the
booming real estate market here, let them pay the costs. The vast growth in
recent years has provided no advantage for the established taxpayer but has
produced constantly increasing taxes. I’m tired of supporting real estate
developers.
One caveat. If you want to use my taxes to develop it for an affordable “trailer
park” I will be glad to contribute. Such prebuilt homes provide a real solution
to affordable housing.
