ELBERT: As usual you are usually right. The raw land lots that could not be sold at a decent price before are now worth more as it will be less expensive to get materials to the sites. And people/developers will build in full awareness of the road (probably further back from front lot line) AND 2nd row back will be more valuable than roadside lots.

However, those of us who paid the high cost of obtaining building materials and built closer to what was considered a cart path have a different story. For those of you who like to chime in "PROGRESS" may not remember way back when we tried to simply get a grader up here once a year (after the rainy season) and were repeatedly told that couldn't happen "BECAUSE THERE IS NO ROAD." What was repeatedly reported to us was that a statutory regulation had not been passed. I guess one day - without it being gazetted - it must have been signed sealed and delivered. snicker


Thanks for the history lesson on taxes. Things like these questionable tax dealings, the bridge, the road, sewage, etc. are why we so desperately need a master plan.
