Typically, properties in urbanized or developed areas have higher prices AND higher taxes. Which would you rather buy: a $500,000 dollar townhouse in Annandale or ten acres in Crozet with a modular home? There would seem to be al ot more upside in the latter. That is one reason why we have what we call sprawl. We should recognize these facts for what they are, and capitalize on them. There is no reason why what we now call sprawl has to be ugly or ineffective. There is a reason why it is economical. What we need to do is find a happy medium.
