Everything you wanted to know about BRAC
Well -- a quick summary of key points, at least. You can find it in Q&A form on The Sun's site. Here's a taste of the answer to a question about tax impacts from BRAC, the base realignment and closure process expected to send thousands of jobs here in the next several years:
Of course, a complicating factor in all this is the huge uncertainty over where people will settle when the jobs relocate here. Some may choose to commute long-distance or work via telecommuting for a while, easing the strain on gridlocked highways and crowded classrooms. Where the newcomers end up buying or renting homes ultimately depends on the cost and availability of housing, the quality of schools, job opportunities for other household members and other factors.
