Good point, Bob. If it were a matter of quadrupling taxes, that have almost everyone voting no. However, there is also a price to be paid for not having police, fire, mail and other services. Lately I have been wondering if that price is too high.
HPP has land that it may be able donate for the placement of fire and police substations (there is an area on 5th that was set up for a townsite of sorts) so that may reduce costs.
In the long run, HPP will become a townsite (Pele willing) because people do continue to build there, albeit at a much reduced pace. The more people are there, the greater the distribution of any additional burdens.
