% of Commerical to Residual property use in Howard County

Does any one know the percentage of commercial to residual property use in Howard County.

I don't.

Does anyone care what the percentage is.

I do.

I heard that 35% (commercial), 65% (residual), would have a very positive impact on the property taxes we would pay.

What you think???

  5. And why bother with punctuation either, Jim? I mean, typically a question ends with a question mark. But, heck, what's a punctuation mark here or there? Odd, isn't it, that you seek clarity on a subject yet find someone attempting to clarify your question to be picky?

    Not a sermon, just a thought.

    iconic xer, I enjoy your thought, and even more, that you could spare the time to address my errors.

    To show you my appreciation, I offer you a few ????, as a credit to my future possible errors.

    p.s. I did end my response to anon with a :), which I hope would be read as a smile.

    iconic xer- why do you change your moniker more frequently than your underwear? Seems kind of odd for someone who preaches that commentors need to pick a name and use it to avoid being "A. Nony Mouse".

    And a more accurate nom de plume, please. Please. People in their late 40's shouldn't draw attention to youth envy by claiming to be 'gen x'.

    Ouch! Painful every time I see it.

    Well gang, I thought I would post a
    question to get a few responses. Little did I know that poor spelling and even worst punctuation
    would be more effective.

    Now life has tossed another curve. I have been blocked from the site. Evan assures me he will fix the problem.

    Until then, look to other sites for my attempts to enrich your reading experience.

    Residual is probably not a bad choice of words. Is open space considered residential or commercial? What about farmland?

    Thank you anon 6:54, but I plead quilty, I did mean "residential".

    I had been moving investments around that day and had financial terms on my mind, but that is no execuse.

    You got to take the licks and kicks so you can stay humble.

    Your point about farmland is excellant. At some future point I want to bring up questions as a way to inform and focus on the next 5 to 10 years of Howard County's growth. That was the orginal intent of this question.
    Thanks again.

    Jim,

    I was not being critical in asking about "residential" versus "residual". I was just trying to be certain what you were asking about. For all I know there could be some real estate term "residual property" that I've never heard before.

    No hidden agenda - I promise. :)

    I agree, Jim. At first, I thought "he meant residential" but I too, think that framing the conversation on only residential vs. commercial excludes other designations.

    You were right on target. Perhaps without realizing it, but no need to focus on that...
