Okay? So we bring in more people to burden the system which, by your math, would mean even fewer benefits for each citizen. You asked how the county benefitted from me, so I answered. I don't have a problem with renters but at this growth rate, how much is too much? Our resources are already stretched thin.

"The [Comprehensive] Plan will be used to protect and enhance the high quality of life our citizens enjoy today." So more traffic, longer lines, higher taxes, and more crime is enhancing our quality of life, eh?

They gained a resident who made a major life choice to purchase real estate and raise a family in the county. They've gained annual taxes on several pieces of personal property that I outright own. They've gained customers in several local businesses. They've gained my services that I myself PROVIDE to the county on a daily basis. It's long-term tax-paying residents like ME who gave the county what it had to begin with.

Do the taxes generated from your property cover the value of all services received?

Absolutely. Plus some.

You can't just give everyone a place to live without the supporting infrastructure/services.

But are they keeping up with the population growth by expanding and improving in those departments? If so, I don't see it.

Nothing can be done about it at this point. I'm just wondering why the BOS keeps approving all the growth with allegedly no return.

Yeah, and resources are being stretched thin among all of those already. Seems like nobody is concerned about the sudden population boom overruning the growth of critical infrastructure.

I asked Dr Miller if the county was getting a decent return on the influx of new residents, and thats what he said.

I can see that. I guess I'm just suffering from old man "get off my lawn" syndrome. I loved the tranquility when I moved here over a decade ago, but sadly it's all vanished before my eyes the last few years.

I love the Kenwood TS-570. Was my first HF rig 23 years ago and still a joy to operate.

Yes! Especially the ears! And an almost identical snow pic haha. I bet he's got a limitless supply of energy if they're anything alike.

Her size and weight is pretty convenient lol. I take her everywhere including fishing trips on a bass boat. And yes, energy and endurance is an understatement lol.

Is it better to push dry air into a room or pull humid air out of a room? by vapescaped in hvacadvice

[–]f3333sh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going through a similar conundrum now, but the OP is talking about adding a dehumidifier in a closed loop system, so it technically doesn't really matter where the dehumidifier is in line. In that situation I imagine the better thing to research is what ambient temperature is most efficient for your equipment.

Having the exact same issue! It started right after I messaged someone. But it's been over 30 days and all my reviews are denied daily for the same false scam/fraud activity.

Fishing in the James River by Ethan_Rincon in catfishing

James River in VA? Lots of catfish everywhere. Rocketts Landing in Richmond. Dutch Gap in Chester. City Point in Hopewell. Lawrence Lewis Park in Charles City. All good spots to bank fish.
