investment noun
Definition of INVESTMENT
: the outlay of money usually for income or profit
Yes. A home is not an "investment" to many of us because we don't expect to have income or profit from it.
It is a place to live comfortably, affordably, safely, and enjoyably.
Comfortably, safely and enjoyably are not quantifiable in terms of dollars and cents.
Affordability is a dollars and cents figure, and I know we and most residents here could afford $3,540 per resident
if,
in a worst-case scenario, the 100,000 residents had to pay every dollar of the $354 million said to be tax due on the commercial district's bonds.
And residents having to pay ALL of that possible tax due is a pretty far-fetched scenario, considering the developer, CDD, bond sellers and bond holders involved and all their lawyers involved.
The quality of life and quality of our home, and the friendship, love and support, in good times and in bad, that we have with our neighbors and friends in TV.....is incalculable.
