Goose's county sounds like they have their act much better together than my area.
Bunch of developments going in all around me. One area the lots are supposed to 7500sq.ft minimum and another the minimum was 6000 sq.ft. Got to looking at the plats and in the 7500 ft area there were a bunch of 6000 ft lots and in the 6000 ft area a bunch of 4500 ft lots. Asked the planning department about that and the answer was that the developer got a variance approved for smaller lots as long as he put some playground equipment over the stormwater infiltration areas. Developer gets 25-33% more lots in the development in exchange for a few thousand $ in swingsets and slides.
These little areas are deeded to the county and they call them parks. Of course there is not budget for maintenance. No irrigation so the grass is all dead and dry by late July. What kind of a park is that?
Three of those nearby developments (more than 150 homes) are accessed by the county road that goes past my place. This is a road that was put in in 1947 and pave in the 50s and is pretty much as it was installed back then. Developers are only required to improve the sections in front of their development. The rest of the road is looking like something from a third world country now. Asphalt is all busted up and pot-holed from the heavy truck traffic. ~17mph is all you can do on it without risking your car. The county road that the developers are using will have to be repaired and maintained at county expense, ie.Taxpayers, while the developer's actions just tear it up.
In one of my meetings with the developer on the project along my west property line he said "Kevin, the county pays attention to me, I'm the one with the money". I'm sure a fair bit of his money is greasing a bunch of palms.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
