Believe it or not. There are some ghettos in Mississippi. If not in Desoto county, right on the edge. I know they have them in Horn Lake. Right past the Desoto Civic center. When I saw them I couldn't believe my eyes. The main advantage to living across the state line is paying less taxes. You don't have any taxes, because you don't have any services. For all those people you are going to need to hire more police. Also in many communities there is a stench in the air, because they don't have an adequate sewage system. The MPD needs to catch some of these Mississippians coming to Memphis and dumping their garbage. We could fatten the city's coiffures by fining them $500 or whatever the fine is for illegal dumping these days.
What they don't tell you is, property values aren't growing as fast as the population. They're constantly building new houses. So that new house you bought in that new subdivision five years ago, is no longer a hot property. You can't get much more than you paid for it then. So when you sell it and pay a realtors commission. You're going to end up in the hole. Therefore you can't sell your house. You just have to bite the bullet.
Here is where the masonry begins. Taxes are slowly but surely going to rise. In order to replace all the amenities you get in the city. Those things come with a cost. The education system is going to change. Where you go, your cousins will eventually follow. Not saying that's always bad, but you get my drift. The country schools will soon become like those in the city. Not saying that's always bad, but you get my drift. Everywhere you go, there you are. When all these things happen, and they will. What will be the next move? What will you do when your job and your residence are in two different states, and there's a toll booth in between? We will finally have what I have been talking about for years. Every year that passes gets us closer.It's a few more bricks on the building.
