Wixom is creating city life in its suburban backyard to
attract potential residents who may eye homes elsewhere.
In an area along Pontiac Trail, there is a
cluster of townhouses, condos and a commercial building.
The structures are stacked in two and three
stories, with parking on the streets behind them.
This is Wixom's answer to luring people
downtown and reducing a half century of sprawl in southeastern Michigan.
"It's locating density in an attractive
place where people want to live," said Jim Clarke, president of Robertson
Brothers in Bloomfield Hills, which has worked on the first phase of a
$210-million project with developer Larry Cohen. The second phase of
development is set to kick off this year.
Like Wixom officials, other planners said
limitations should be set for the sprawl, which spreads financial resources
from the epicenter of Detroit into the northern reaches of Oakland and Macomb
counties. But others like big-box retailers, and builders are reluctant to
create boundaries, saying allowing growth to flourish is good for the economy.
From 2000 to early last summer, about 85,000
people moved into the 16 fastest-growing communities in northern Oakland and
Macomb counties. There, people are finding more affordable, larger properties
that fit their lifestyles.
The Michigan Taxpayers Alliance (MTA)
is an alliance of Michigan citizens who believe the state government of Michigan
is hurting citizens and our economy by taking too much money from citizens and
redistributing it through ever-increasing spending.
The MTA is a true alliance in that its
members are dedicated to stopping the state from increasing taxes from any
segment of Michigan citizens, even those that government sees as an 'easy mark'
due to their relative unpopularity; i.e. smokers, alcohol drinkers, "big
business", small business, gamblers, "bad drivers", "the
wealthy", farmers, or any other taxpayer regardless of their political
vulnerability.
The MTA is a
federally registered 501(c)4 organization dedicated to taxpayer education and
advocacy for reduced state spending and a reduced overall tax burden.
