Nice town, but getting costly

6/29/2008
Having been a resident of this town for 30 years, I have been fortunate to have lived here in more reasonable economic times.
In those 30 years, the size of the town has grown from around 6500 to now approaching 15,000. The tax burden on residents has about doubled in the last dozen years. Many would say it is justified, what with new schools, new public buildings and growth in general. It may have some justification, however, the money for taxes means some other personal need of the citizenry must be sacrificed. Nice town, but tough to justify the cost of living here now.
