Vicky Heller: Gosh, I assumed that Listmembers could read. That's why I included the link to the WHOLE STORY. If others want to be spoon fed, just let me know. Dyna Sluyter: ...the "growth" trends you trumpet are little if any the result of Minnesota's or Minneapolis' taxes. Vicky Heller: I know a lot of people moving west, and they're taking their businesses and employees with them. In fact, I would guess that many of them are millionaires. Yesterday's USA today published a very telling article about the growing "red" states and the shrinking "blue" states. Check it out. Dyna Sluyter: When Minneapolis and other metro area communities stabilize the housing market by providing such affordable housing we'll start seeing population growth again. Vicky Heller: The easy way to create lots of affordable housing in Minneapolis is to triple the residential property taxes. I guarantee a major decline in housing values. Oh wait! Maybe that's what our City Council has in mind. Maybe they're smarter than I think. Vicky Heller North Oaks and Cedar-Riverside REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules? Email the list manager at [EMAIL PROTECTED] before continuing it on the list. 2. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait.
