Thank the developer for continued investments increasing jobs and value for all homeowners.
The Developer was the cause of the spike in demand for housing that drove values up? The value of the house I sold in Md increased at the same time (good for me) so is the Developer to thank for that too?

The Developer seems to be building as quickly as possible to create a supply of houses to meet the demand. My basic economics lessons told me prices increase when supply is low, not when supply is high. Wouldn't values have increased even more if the Developer had slowed or stopped building?

And really, I believe the continued investment in county infrastructure, needed to support the additional homes being added by the Developer, is what necessitated the 25% increase in taxes a few years ago.
