A Growing Reality

We are now tenth fastest growing state in the country, and there is no sign of that letting up anytime soon. What does that mean for the anti-growth crowd that controls the Albuquerque City Council? It means that if they try to slow down growth through increased taxes (assessments and fees are just taxes by another name) Albuquerque will become the poverty stricken inner-city of Rio Rancho and the Valencia County communities.

Don't believe it? Well, go back and watch the evolution of the West. Now, fast forward to today and notice that we are listed on the top of all the wrong lists, and the bottom of all the right ones.

Update: It is already happening. Homes lead to businesses. Businesses lead to jobs. Jobs lead to better economy. Better economies lead to improve quality of life. Simple logic.
