Oh AM the increased taxes is from urban growth has been the holy grail of local governments. Lived in this state most of my life and compared to what it was when I was in high school this state stinks. You could get a job 2 hours after you quite one when I was 25 and Seattle was one of the best working class cities in the country. I mean it was really something special and the surrounding areas were a natural play ground.

All BS aside, all that growth has done nothing but destroy everything natural, degrade the quality of the urban area's, screw up the water & air, in fact we have went from a state known for charting it's own way and independent citizens to a bunch of sheep waiting to get fleeced like the rest.

Nah AM doubtful the growth has been good for anything but politicians.
