Thirty million would pay for a lot of policing.
It was $3 million a year, $30 million over 10 years. That would get you around 20 cops, maybe a few more, based on our local PD budget, and assuming costs are slightly higher there.
And further, I don’t see any way in Hades that $30 million buys 1000 homes. That’s only $30,000 per unit.
$30 million over the next 10 years to build 1,000 homes in affluent neighborhoods.
That is $30,000 per home. Enough for a tar paper shack after the land is paid for, if you can even get land that cheaply.
