others:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>*Live Where You Work Program is administered by Md. Dept of Housing and
Community Development. College Park is enrolled in this program and

Alice, Marita and all,<BR>While you have your sharp pencils out, play with
the pros, cons and cost <BR>of this idea.<BR>I was listening to liberal
public radio and heard that some area <BR>counties are assisting county
employees to buy homes in the county. This <BR>of course gets county
employees, fire and police in the community and <BR>therefore "invested" in
the community they serve. It also helps get the <BR>foreclosed homes off the
market helping the county tax base by putting <BR>the house back on the tax
rolls and raising the value of the rest of the <BR>neighborhood
homes.<BR><BR>Well why not here in Riverdale Park? For all the reasons above
AND I <BR>know if one of the towns cars, with all those lights on top, sat
in the <BR>driveway next door to me, instead of being empty, I would feel
more <BR>secure. Besides you could apply the gas money saved to the cost of
the <BR>assistance. With the cost of gas the town may break even!
;-)<BR><BR>Besides helping responsible, employed people move into the
community <BR>gives you more point than goring someone else's ox for a few
tax nickels.<BR><BR>COC<BR><BR>Novicky, Marita wrote, On 6/10/2008 10:16
