Very similar neighborhood to my Hoffman Farms. Being the nosy person I am, when I got home I looked up the house on the Delaware County auditor's website.<br /><br />They got significantly more house for slightly more money than me. And their taxes were about $1k lower. And it's only marginally further from downtown. <br /><br />I think that Hilliard has a very active housing market under $225k. But my instinct is that Hilliard homes over $275k dont compete nearly as well. Another levy might widen the gap further.<br /> <br />I dunno. Any experts out there with thoughts?Thomas Albannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289345346387194350.post-40802991212378633432011-01-11T12:30:07.815-05:002011-01-11T12:30:07.815-05:00Quite the meeting last night! The open discussion ...Quite the meeting last night! The open discussion between the Board and the audience was quite the shocker, but deeply appreciated by me at least. Although I did not speak, I took what I heard and composed an e-mail letter to all of the Board members this morning both thanking them for the exception in format and expressing my concerns regarding where the levy money is to go, and since the question came up, where the programs will go should the levy fail. I agree with Paul that they came up with the 6.9 mils only as a figure that they think has the best chance of passing - not a very realistic way to budget for an enterprise as large as the HCSD given the problems it is facing with funding. I'll be awaiting their replies - not that I expect, or even think I should expect, a direct answer but rather a response to the public in general. I look forward to the special meeting which Paul requested as I was not all that impressed with the other Board members responses to his feeling that "due diligence" has not been performed. I'm thinking they missed his point...Hillirditehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04502059362611692461noreply@blogger.com
