18. Required Current Expenses per SF Unit

19. Required Capital per SF Unit

20. Does new construction pay for itself? The benefits of construction & The costs of construction Now that we know:

21. By the end of the 1 st year the debt is fully paid off By the 1 st year economic impacts offset fiscal costs In the 1 st year, net is $26,535,600 and is $2,561,600 thereafter Yes it does! For every 1,000 SF units--

22. Over 15 years, every 625 SF units generate a cumulative $156.5 million in revenue for local governments—but only $94.3 million in costs

23. What does 1 year mean? That is, should it be done faster, or is it O.K.? Big purchases take time to pay off. Car loans now last 5 years, and many lease! How fast did you pay off your student loans? How fast are your kids paying off theirs? Did you pay off your home in 2 year?

24. Almost done, just a bit more

25. How Large Are Non Property Tax Revenues Single family property taxes are $4,022/unit per year but, yearly revenue is $7,994/unit per year, which is 99% more. Clearly, property taxes are not the whole story!

26. A Closer Look at Primary and Secondary Education 12.6% attend private schools nationally 1.7% are Home schooled nationally 0.4 school age children/MF unit nationally 0.6 school age children/SF unit nationally OR-WA aid is $1.8 billion or 67% of budget
