You actually mean leave my money alone, and allow me to pay less than my fair share of the burden of our community. Your using a now arbitrary line to stick others for your share of a community/citizen responsibility. Please try to understand what that actually means, and try not to think only of the services to your house. (You should consider moving deep into the rural country.) I just admire the logic of those in the surrounding county and Wrightsville Beach who come into the city on a regular/somewhat regular basis, but then again, somehow, do not, at the same time. And believe me those living in the city wish they didn't have to help those in the surrounding county, and those in neighboring small townships, pay for those services you so enjoy.
