The projected population for the next couple of decades is the highest in Medina county when compared to to Cuyahoga, Lorain, Geagua, Lake.  The projected population is nearly twice relative to the number two, Lorain county. Why is Medina is anticipated to grow more than these other counties?  Thanks. 

I would say it has a lot to do with being relatively close to Akron and Cleveland, access to 71, and many good schools in the county.  A lot of the growth is going on in Brunswick, which is building a ton of big, ugly house with an open foyer.  Why wouldn’t you want half brick half sided house?  I know Brunswick Hts just built like some 200 homes and they have no city tax, so a lot of people are moving there.  That’s were the women wants to go and I refuse to move there. 

That’s were the women wants to go and I refuse to move there. 

 

You don't mean that you wouldn't move there because the women wants to go there, right?

Don't you mean "refuses"?  Maybe you could benefit from some of those fine schools in the county? :wink2:

Like most other ex-urbs, they offer a lower tax rate - for now. Down the road, when they overbuild homes, overwhelm the infrastructure, overcrowd the schools, etc. you'll see those taxes go up. People will vote down the tax levies - after all, if they wanted higher taxes, they wouldn't have moved there. Add extra traffic (since it's completely auto-centric), and the quality of life will decline. So the lemmings will move further out to escape their own kind - rinse, lather, repeat.

I don't want to move there because it is Brunswick...I work in NR, pretty much the same town.  You have to drive 15-20 minutes to get anywhere.  Pass through a MILLION aggravating lights that aren’t timed and when you get there you get to choose between Applebee’s and TGIF.   Towns like that just don't do it for me.  NR, for example, is a nice place to work, but that's about it.  This summer during there festival or farmers market they made this big wall and told the towns people to draw whatever they thought NR represented to them on it.  The only things they came up with were a stack of hay (There are no farms there anymore) and a picture of the marching band.  Soul-less towns  and pretty sad if you ask me.  I like what I do now, work in the burbs, and live in the city. 

 

Mayday, hit it right on the head.  They come in like locust, destroy the land and move on...

I dont understand why some people wish to be away from other people

LMAO!  I have wondered that as well; actually your quote summarizes my father (except he was never a suburanite, just a small-towner).  That is why my home is in a township with little over 1,000 people!  :-D  On the plus side, the nature/scenery is nice where my parents live........and in their lifetime (and probably mine) suburban sprawl is nonexistent and won't be an issue like in such places as Medina and Lorain.  But anyway, I just had to laugh as you hit my dad's personality right on the head!

 

:-D LOL

Mayday - I work in Blue Ash, a good post war Cincinnati suburb, which has utterly overwhelmed its transportation infrastructure, and just raised its income tax from 1.1% to 1.6%...how right you are...
