The fact of the matter is that the baby boomers children are now phased thru our school system and there will be reductions in kids going to school for many more years to come. Taxes cannot continue to go up any where, including Lonmeadow.<br />Property values will not rise if the tax burden ion a home is so great that banks will not approve loans based on ratios that make the monthly tax bill higher that p&I! Homes thru out town are showing the strain of not being maintained due to aNY disposable income being disposed of by taxes based on a school department based in la-la land. The baby boomers would like to live here and enjoy what Longmeadow has to offer , but as a 2nd generation resident, (since 1969) I wonder how I will , or anyone will, stay here when your tax on your home creeps towards 1000.00 + a month and more for modest homes. Carefull what you wish for school committee! When the values don't go up, Sluggo gets to move in and the whole picture gets very uglyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05523353706318509363noreply@blogger.com
