There are programs out there for police, teachers and firefighters and  
others:
 
*Live Where You Work Program is administered by Md. Dept of Housing and  
Community Development.  College Park is enrolled in this program and  there is no 
reason why Riverdale Park can't be as well. Contact Md. Dept. of  Housing and 
Community Development for more info.
 
Neighbor Next Door Program sponsored by HUD and purchasers must buy a hud  
home in an approved area to receive great benefits.  This program is  for 
Policemen, Teachers and FireFighters.  Contact HUD.

Jenna,  Alice, Marita and all,
While you have your sharp pencils out, play with  the pros, cons and cost 
of this idea.
I was listening to liberal  public radio and heard that some area 
counties are assisting county  employees to buy homes in the county. This 
of course gets county  employees, fire and police in the community and 
therefore "invested" in  the community they serve. It also helps get the 
foreclosed homes off the  market helping the county tax base by putting 
the house back on the tax  rolls and raising the value of the rest of the 
neighborhood  homes.

Well why not here in Riverdale Park? For all the reasons above  AND I 
know if one of the towns cars, with all those lights on top, sat  in the 
driveway next door to me, instead of being empty, I would feel  more 
secure. Besides you could apply the gas money saved to the cost of  the 
assistance.  With the cost of gas the town may break even!  ;-)

Besides helping responsible, employed people move into the  community 
gives you more point than goring someone else's ox for a few  tax nickels.
