Re: Only 11.1% can't get it! said by old_dawg:said by AstroBoy:If you want it and can't get it, move to where you can. Not to misunderstand your statement or harsh your mellow, but perhaps you are benefiting from a highway, park, stadium that those 11% helped pay for via taxes, bonds,etc. that they will never use. Just a thought. Since traffic is much higher where I live, I bet I paid more for their roads. I don't have a park within walking distance. And I will never go the the 2 stadiums built with school funding. In my state they passed the lottery promising to use the profits on the schools. The lottery paid for 1 or both stadiums. I feel like I was lied to.
I just think the rural and urban areas have pluses and minuses. Urban people should not pay for rural minuses unless rural people are going to pay for urban minuses.
I would prefer to live in the middle of nowhere, but I need a job, so I live within a few miles of a major city. I get traffic noise 24/7, higher crime rates and 25/15Mb internet. Would you like to pay to have my land sound-proofed? Or pay for a 24/7 guard to protect my propriety? |
