Home sales up in January; new numbers on county's property tax base; median home values fall sharply in Baldwin, Eudora, rural areas; weekly land transfers
same with rentals, the only difference is the landlord will defer the cost to the renter.

While I see your point, I have to disagree. If you can manage to pay the home off then you at least have a roof over your head. Sure, you must pay taxes and utilities, but after the house is paid in full those bills are a fraction of what the house payment +utilities and taxes are. So sure, it is a money hole and if you're looking to get your money back out of it then perhaps it's more of a long term investment than you'd like, but if you simply want a roof over your head then owning a home is far more secure than renting. Rent will always go up. Your landlord could sell your property before a new lease can be signed. Landlords charge far far more than the payments they're making (if they're even making payments still.) For security I'm willing to dump my money into the "hole" and not have to worry about rent going up when retirement comes. As for taxes, utilities... I can deal with those as they come.

Water, sewer upgrades would tap wallets
Out of all the ideas to "improve" this town I have to say this is the one I prefer the most. I don't much care for a sports center, a retirement village, a new library, a new police station, or a a "no tax" plan to improve our schools.... but if I have to pay a few dollars extra for my water so that the pipes can be improved and we can have a more modern sewage system, I'm for it. Most of our countries infrastructure is collapsing. We're living in a world that hasn't seen real improvement since the 1950's. So, if the city council wants to charge a little more for water and sewage to improve the plant I can handle that.
