The county is responsible for the roads Because all taxpayers benefit from the growth via additional tax revenue from the new homes. That's why taxes have not increased in over a decade.
No investment in the glue that connects the community means you're mortgaging the assets of you heirs via much higher taxes later
The less than a dollar a day for $300k in assessed value increase is essentially an investment to minimize future tax increases relative to freezing growth at the current level.
At the end of the day, there is no budget Santa Claus, the consumer (homeowners/tax payers) will pay no matter how you split the pie.
