Well someone who buys those new houses will be paying the property taxes! And if they are smart landlords part of the rent that is charged will include and be set aside for payment of those property taxes for which they will be liable! No? And those renters will be contributing to the local economy. No? And unemployed workers - will they not just move on to the next area of development unless they have been able to establish roots in the area? It seems that there are many assumptions in the quoted post - no?
