There is really not much difference between what they are doing than what was done when they built Amelia, or Hillsborough. Yeah, they are tweaking the formula a bit, but anyone who can look at the investment they are making in new schools and say they don't care needs their head examined. They are building as fast as the market will bear, providing huge amounts of area employment, and a wonderful place for all of us to live.


Seriously, not a lot has changed. Minor stuff yes, but anyone who thinks Harrold or Gary were saints is participating in revisionist history. They were just as much business people as the current group.

The one thing I do agree with that someone says is I wish they did not do rentals on AirBNB. Not sure monthly minimums make sense, but the weekly rentals promote some of the wrong type of renters.... At least that is what I see.

I agree. I wish they wouldn't have short term rentals. We have a few in our neighborhood.
