Dear Visionaries:
Just a thought; why don't we try to cut taxes in Moscow to stimulate =
economic and housing growth? Simply slowing the tax increase doesn't fix =
things because there is still an increase, so why not work on =
eliminating certain taxes altogether?=20
All the best,
Luke Nieuwsma

Subject: [Vision2020] City Taxes, again
Thanks to all who responded. Quite a bit of information to absorb, =
and, of course, I have more questions.
There has been a great deal of development in and around the city, why =
hasn't this development resulted in sufficient increases in tax =
revenues? Are tax breaks being given to spur development?
Does the UI expect student populations to keep on increasing in the =
near future?
Personally, I would not be surprised by flat or even decreasing =
student numbers over the next three to=20
five years.
How does the combined UI/City growth plan deal with over-development?=20
Is the UI required to meet some "rent" level comparable with the city? =
=20
What impact will the UI have on the city when it makes living on =
campus more desirable to fill its housing?
