Show me where it is, tell me how it is out of control and tell me why you are so selfish." <BR/><BR/>The development is in the BANK- the BANK of properties and subdivisions and zone changes already granted to developers but not built out yet. And still the development personnel are asking for more. It's as if they don't see what they already have. And since it's not being built yet it isn't helping the realtors and bankers make money right now. Hence the DCEDI's sense of urgency and feeling that disaster is imminent if we don't allow more development.<BR/>Try upgrading your housing stock- building better not bigger. The loans will be the same as it will cost more to build a better quality home, the realtors commissions will increase as they sell better homes and the housing stock in the county will improve to promote a second life remodeling industry to get more uses out of older homes in the future, instead of bulldozing them.<BR/>CCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6359832.post-89527285902310230512007-06-25T07:34:00.000-04:002007-06-25T07:34:00.000-04:00As a symtom of how the development types have no c...As a symtom of how the development types have no concept of <B><I>COMMUNITY</I></B>, notice how Jim West extrapolates from his "small circle" of realtors and developers, to somehow the <B><I>COMMUNITY!!!</I></B><BR/><BR/>1.
