<div><font face="Arial">They may be clear but they are most certainly
incorrect. For example, a property in the CDB valued at one million
dollars generates the same tax revenue as a million dollar property anywhere
else in Moscow. The notion that if a given entity is prevented from
acquiring an high dollar value building in the CBD they will make do with a
tar paper shack somewhere else in Moscow, there by saving the city from losing
tax monies is not sound reasoning. If a group wants a highly visible and
desirable location and is willing to pay for it, the effect on the cities
coffers will be identical irrespective of whether the land is downtown or
elsewhere.</font></div>

<div><br></div>Thanks, Bill, for the clarity of your comments. And a
side note to Gary Crabtree:<br><br>Trust me on this one. There's no one
on Vision who, in criticizing Christ Church and its relations with the
community, needs you to "slow it way down" so that they can grasp your
arguments. Believe me, your points are not so complex as to require
terrific effort in grasping them, and they're not cogent or correct enough for
any of us to have to work real hard in refuting them. You might find
civil discourse a bit taxing, but I regret that snottiness seems to come so
easily for you. <br><br>One thing I've learned in my life is that people
who disagree with me are not automatically stupid, and people who agree with
me are not automatically brilliant. Those who fail to see that, however,
aren't automatically anything, but damned if they don't somehow end up
sounding like the former. <br><br>Coincidence? I think
not.<br><br>keely<br><br><br>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">The Christ Church leadership is committed to
buying downtown property for "strategic" (Doug Wilson's word) or "political"
(my word) reasons, not religious ones. The church wants to take over
downtown.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Downtown property (Central Business District)
may be taxed at a common rate with other properties, but each individual
downtown property is more valuable (and thus pays more property tax) than
similar parcels located elsewhere. So, when those downtown parcels are
bought by Christ Church, Moscow takes a big hit in revenue.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Diluting the Central Business District with

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">1. Property used for church related
activities will be tax exempt whether it's downtown, mid-town, or on
the outskirts of our little burg.</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">2. Property in the CBD is not taxed at a

whether it's downtown, mid-town, or on the outskirts of our little
burg.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">3. Property owned by a church that
is NOT used for church related activities IS taxed, just the same as
all other similar properties such as the others that are downtown,
mid-town, or on the outskirts of our little burg. A prime example of
this would be the space occupied by the restaurant in the NSA

is an expense that no small church can afford. Simply from a maintenance

its logical end. CC owns fifty to sixty percent of the CBD. So what?
Please don't fall back on the property tax issue since we all know that
church property, used for church purposes will be tax exempt no matter
where it is, downtown or elsewhere. If it's owned by the church or
its members and used for commercial purposes it will be taxed the same
as any other parcel. </span></font></p></div>

<p class="EC_EC_MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Of all the property in the
central business district, what percent is owned by CC? One percent?
Maybe two? </span></font></p></div>

<div>
<p class="EC_EC_MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Lets follow your query to
its logical end. CC owns fifty to sixty percent of the CBD. So what?
Please don't fall back on the property tax issue since we all know that
church property, used for church purposes will be tax exempt no matter
where it is, downtown or elsewhere. If it's owned by the church or
its members and used for commercial purposes it will be taxed the same
as any other parcel. </span></font></p></div>

<p class="EC_EC_MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">With this being the case,
why would it matter if they were to own every square inch of downtown
Moscow? What exactly would be the down side? The maddening rectal itch
you might receive from such a turn of events really doesn't
count.</span></font></p></div>
