I Didn't Realize You Could Do That

I wish Atlanta had banned growth thirty years ago, like this town in South Carolina. It's actually a suburb of Charlotte, which sits on the NC/SC border.

But watch out, AVI:
Ms. McCauley, who moved here from San Jose, is leaving later this month. Her husband took a job in Boston and will telecommute from the far suburbs of rural New Hampshire.

“New Hampshire has that quiet feel that Lake Wylie used to have,” she said.

    In other words, the locusts have gone seeking greener pastures. Got it.

    My much appreciated neighbors are moving.
    New owners, who I have yet to meet, are from California. Hopefully they are refugees and not locusts.

    Sounds worrisome. Eb Jenkins thinks we should build a wall along the southern border...with Massachusetts. https://assistantvillageidiot.blogspot.com/2006/06/build-wall-interview.html

    I'm no fan of the added congestion and regulation and density of people, but you can't freeze the world in Amber. This city freezing growth will just see the surrounding areas grow instead, and they won't have any control over that, and it will still affect them. It's like the little town of South Pasadena here- they blocked an extension of the 710 freeway to protect their town, and it's stayed blocked all these years. But street traffic has gotten more and more dense anyway, and you still have to take extra time to get to the Freeway when you need to go out of town, so was it really a good idea? It just gives more power to the regulators to mess with your life and property.
