NO. $3.51 per $1,000 of assessed value and a median home price now of 562k. Can a person even buy a home in Ridgefield any more for the mid 500s? Based on that $562k median price the average household will pay $2k a year just to fund these schools and the bond is a 21 year bond? Think about that. The taxes will run a lot of lifelong Ridgefield folks right out of their homes and land. It's already happening. But we need these fancy new schools right? Yeah right. All by design in the name of growth. Stop killing the residents with more and more taxes. Enough already. If there is so much growth because they issue building permits like it's nothing then go to the developers and builders who are making the money. Tell families with kids they need to pay more. It's all about keeping it fair right? You chose the kids you pay for their fancy new buildings then. No one voted yes to approve the hundreds of apartments right as you enter Ridgefield. Do people think the big institutional investors who built and own those apartments won't jack up rents to cover the added taxes? These bonds just scream crush the middle class. It's a firm no for me every time. Show us you can manage what you have effectively first. Then maybe just maybe you might get people on board to take this nonsense seriously again.
