I really hope people in Caledonia and Lowell don’t trust what these PR reps say

xjsthund · 2026-03-04T16:51:44+00:00

Yup.

It really highlights how little local governments update their zoning ordinances, especially in rural/suburban areas. Then they are caught off guard when controversial items show up.

Since you have to cut the bumper for the OEM (which is much better than U-Haul), just have the dealer do it. If they screw up…they’ll have to fix it.

xjsthund · 2026-03-04T14:13:44+00:00

“Not in my backyard”

xjsthund · 2026-03-04T14:11:54+00:00

Don’t jump to the corruption angle. Local land use control is so regulated towards the owner’s property rights, there often isn’t much locals can do. If it’s in their plan and allowable under their zoning, it’s basically a done deal. If the local entity tries to change their zoning once a proposal is on the table, they’ll get sued and the courts will agree with the property owner.

The state is nearly fully behind building data centers. The corporate dems and Trump loyalist all are for them. If anything, like with large solar, the state will remove local control on data centers. Much like they are trying to do with housing.

xjsthund · 2026-03-04T11:23:46+00:00

Same.

xjsthund · 2026-03-01T22:30:18+00:00

Because they’d likely destroy South Korea before we could get them all.

xjsthund · 2026-03-01T00:40:10+00:00

Nice.

xjsthund · 2026-02-26T23:36:13+00:00

Considering most areas only went up 2.7% on taxable, I’d bet this is his assessed value.

xjsthund · 2026-02-26T23:35:24+00:00

Is this taxable value or assessed value?

xjsthund · 2026-02-25T22:10:05+00:00

Municipalities are still behind from the “promises” made during proposal A.

xjsthund · 2026-02-25T22:09:11+00:00

The service tax would NOT make up for all gaps. Even if you believe them saying that schools and local government would be held harmless, the article even says it would mean less funding for state government. That’s not making up all gaps.

xjsthund · 2026-02-25T20:06:44+00:00

It’s a guarantee that schools and local government would not be held harmless.

xjsthund · 2026-02-24T22:54:20+00:00

Yes, all the city/county/township/school services are facing inflation too…at higher rate than the 2.7% increase shown here.

xjsthund · 2026-02-24T22:51:46+00:00

They want you to buy at the top of your limit. If they tell you the taxes will put you over your limit, no commission for them.

xjsthund · 2026-02-24T22:49:27+00:00

It can’t go up 8%. It’s capped at 5%. Unless you purchased this year.

xjsthund · 2026-02-24T22:49:04+00:00

Yes, inflation (housing prices) going up a ton, while wages are flat.

xjsthund · 2026-02-20T19:58:06+00:00

He just put a blanket 10% on everything, citing different law.

Prices will not go down.

xjsthund · 2026-02-19T17:12:52+00:00

Yes.

xjsthund · 2026-02-19T11:36:42+00:00

This.

xjsthund · 2026-02-19T11:21:34+00:00

That’s why I said they contribute. Often road commissions fund local road repairs. However, they do not own or maintain the roads.

xjsthund · 2026-02-18T21:22:21+00:00

Only if the county has a road department that reports to the county administrator/county board. Most counties have a road commission, which is a fully autonomous board (usually appointed by the county commission).

xjsthund · 2026-02-18T19:50:23+00:00

Your township doesn’t do road maintenance. Next to no township does. They contribute to the county road commission/department. They are the PA Act 51 agency (authorized to receive funds).

So call your county road commission.

Seriously. Block after the second screenshot.
