Better yet, live in a very afluent city, such as my little town where the
$20 million dollar Symphony hall gets paid for via 90% private funds. Back in
1995, some folks decided that our town should be on the internet. A few folks
reached into their pocket with $500k and voila, we have freenet (free ISP).
This sort of thing happens all the time here. As a result of the affluence,
our county has the lowest property tax rate in Florida. We also have some of
the best public schools in Florida.
Cheers,
Norman
