This is strictly informational. I noticed that Rapid City approved their 2016 budget the other night, so I decided to crunch a few numbers.
I will admit, I would much rather live in SF then RC, but I have friends that live in RC and they love it. They say there is far more recreational opportunities. I still think quality of life is probably better in SF, but that is a matter of opinion.
Now for the numbers;
Sioux Falls proposed 2016 budget; $471 Million, 170K residents, $2,770 per person.
Rapid City’s implemented 2016 budget; $156 Million, 72K residents, $2,167 per person.
I have no doubt there will be some cutting and shuffling going on with the SF budget, but I doubt it will sway to far from the proposed amount.
