Here in Nova Scotia, it seems we are getting the same problem. The morons are in the drivers seat. My county is not too bad, but the next one over, well, I'm glad I don't live there. A developer in the city recently bought a piece of land in the city which used to have a hospital on the site. It was torn down a number of years ago, and the province left the land vacant. The locals started using it as their own little park. Then the province decided to sell, as it was surplus. Big stink. Now the developer has to get the land re-zoned from instutitional to residential. He wants to build duplex housing for rent. Upper middle class, for people retireing who don't want the worry of looking after a house, and don't need the room anymore. He has to get a development plan that suits everybody in the neighbourhood, and the municipality doesn't have the spine to do what is right and approve what he wants to do. His plans would certainly add to the apperance of the area, as these homes would blend in nicely, generate tax revenue, which it never did before, and also creat some much needed work in the area. It's just a sad sad political process. I think they deserve a nursing home or a cracker factory on the site. After all, it is zoned institutinial. As far as building is concerned, in the country you need a perc test, good water (no coliforms, or treatable), electrician, and I think a plumber as well. Funny thing too, the taxes are very high....

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
