Time will tell if tax breaks spur home starts
We understand why the Valley Center City Council approved such an incentive last week. The city wants to breathe life into existing residential developments that have room for growth, including Valley Creek on the city's west side and Prairie Lakes to the south. Though there has been some activity in Valley Creek, Prairie Lakes has come to a virtual standstill.

Our family has moved around quite often while I've been in school, so it was a feeling I have become used to.
