Lack of restrictions tests school capacity

In contrast to Supervisor Charlene Brady's reasoning, I would like to point out the long-term effect of allowing unrestricted development to continue.

While I am not completely opposed to some land development, we all need to look at the local public school capacities and the increased taxes that are inevitable as these communities grow.

I have to agree with Supervisor Dan Stoffel's point that by preserving large blocks of agricultural land for future generations, it will enhance the quality of life for all people in these areas.

I also feel it's time for the developers who are profiting to take ownership and responsibility for the overcrowding of schools and the costs associated with it.
