Rammy's Ramblings

You're not the only one @Rammy , same here!

There's this new "housing development" that I drive pass to go to work, they named it "Timber Creek". When I first saw that name I laughed out loud. You call a place "Timber Creek" when there's no tree/timber left because they were all cut down so houses can be built there and there's no creek, makes no sense.

Yeah.........its just burns me up to see housing or a shopping mall or Hey! Wait! We need another gas station! Its not like we dont have ten gas stations already in town...........or a burger joint..........or hey lets chop down all the trees and make a park..........well.....whats the point if there are no trees? I mean common people........if we keep doing this pretty soon there wont be any trees, no farmland, no nothing because someone decided to pave it over and make a parking lot............Hey @Alaskan ..........I may be moving up there..........at least they wont be doing anything soon up there........no roads no water lines no electricity......depending on where you live..............

because someone decided to pave it over and make a parking lot

"They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got til its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They took all the trees
And put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half to seem 'em
No no no
Don't it always seem to go,
That you don't know what you've got
Til its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot..."

If city officials were wise, they would designate a green belt for farm land and the growing of vegetables and meat, eggs and dairy.

$$

I know,right?

Way more tax money in housing and businesses. The city has no incentive to hold back that sort of development.

 

[Rammy]

I just makes me sad, mad, frustrated, shake my head, and wonder, why?Just for a few dollars?

If city officials were wise

Now, there's a problem

But, that's why most of us live where we do, do what we do, to maintain our own beliefs and stewardship to the land.
