Spent most of my life living next to churches, the old boy being a preacher...yeah, yeah, that makes me a son of a preacherman. And the house I bought and been living in for better than 12 years is next to a church. All in all, pretty good neighbourhoods they are. Sunday morning parking is a little tight.

Why should churches pay taxes? Around here their outreach programs more than make up for the loss of tax revenue. Compared to industry there's little environmental impact, and industry doesn't appear to pay enough to compensate for their impact...though I suppose that's another thread.

Rather live next to a church than a folk club.

Peace, Mooh.
