They just as easily supported your opponents as they did your supporters. What you really need is better, unbiased reports to truly be able to evaluate those areas of concern.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354570505974016585.post-25286692528424782332015-01-06T12:22:14.580-08:002015-01-06T12:22:14.580-08:00You are focusing way too much on property taxes wh...You are focusing way too much on property taxes when saying it's better to build homes., when in truth, the largest source of tax revenue is from severance taxes. These severance taxes are based on production and amount to significantly more annually than property taxes ever will.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354570505974016585.post-75269915336581437782014-09-30T10:11:18.870-07:002014-09-30T10:11:18.870-07:00Can't you use the acre of land for other purpo...Can't you use the acre of land for other purposes IN ADDITION to fracking? Seems to me you can still use it for farming, cattle raising or commercial uses. If we are just trying to maximize tax dollars then why are people upset about Rayzor Ranch?Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04519481971702906046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354570505974016585.post-15137615454333877682014-09-19T09:30:26.866-07:002014-09-19T09:30:26.866-07:00The comparison was made this way to account for ap...The comparison was made this way to account for approximately the same number of home sales. While nearly half a million more people call Dallas home than call Denton County home, the single-family home sales are close to equal. Dallas must have more apartments, condo, etc. than Denton County. Also, Dallas is obviously being dragged down by southeast Dallas. But, hey, maybe we should let the statistics speak without clouding the facts with our own biases.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354570505974016585.post-90080942559366540492014-09-18T20:06:20.511-07:002014-09-18T20:06:20.511-07:00good response, thank you. plus the same relative v...good response, thank you. plus the same relative value per acre remains the same - we make more money for our tax coffers and our economy when we build homes rather than frack sites.

Again, give me one example of a house in Denton that sold for less because of fracking or has had it's appraised value lowered? Even Calvin Tillman's home in Dish sold in 2011 for $51,000 more than he paid for it in 2003!Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04519481971702906046noreply@blogger.com
