Every one has a right to assembly, including the expression of faith and denomination. That's great.
But any and every recognized church can file for tax exemption on property or services. They also apply for district - alotted grants for everything from signage, landscaping and billboards. There is actually nothing wrong with that...not exactly.
The problem is, each district may have as many churches as it has ATM machines. How does it add up? How much revenue are all of these churches disallowing the city when that tax money could also be used for schools, roads, public services and development? And should the number of churches per district be limited for that reason?
