Remember he paid for that political hack that tricked us to pay a lot more for everything we buy with an increased sales tax. So, LWR created a lot of the need for new schools, but then gets all of us to pay for them. Then we talk about roads. Sure they built nice roads with green grass like Disneyworld and during a severe drought, water runs to keep these areas green almost every day of the week ignoring water restrictions. Every major entrance to LWR at 64, 70 and University have or need to be widened. LWR expects all of us to provide them with these roads at our expense. Had LWR not existed, those roads would not be needed. Also these roads are getting close to capacity and cannot handle much more traffic and will be in failure mode. Although not all LWR's fault, a good portion of that traffic can be traced to LWR. All the impact taxes, of which almost all the school impact taxes involved the trade out of low cost land for impact taxes. So, if you think there is animosity there, you are right. The rest of us want tax relief and do not want to pay for the infrastructure needs that all these new developments need. Same goes for North county too...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481907982012685430.post-49209068847491159562007-10-05T15:48:00.000-04:002007-10-05T15:48:00.000-04:00Read this article about the epic clash between Rex...Read this article about the epic clash between Rex Jensen of SMR and Joe McClash:<BR/>http://www.american-reporter.com...Joe Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081480590339691377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481907982012685430.post-23688844439044937242007-10-05T00:24:00.000-04:002007-10-05T00:24:00.000-04:00I say build a dome over LWR and its neighboring co...I say build a dome over LWR and its neighboring communities( Heritage harbor, Etc) and make sure you keep the landfill in there too!They deserve each other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481907982012685430.post-6588881024945085172007-10-04T16:33:00.000-04:002007-10-04T16:33:00.000-04:00With very few exceptions both are cultural wastela...With very few exceptions both are cultural wastelands. It amazes me that this was the hottest real estate area 3-4 years ago. Unless Outback is your concept of fine dining, and an afternoon at Super Target is a bowl full of joy your'e in the wrong neck of the woods.
