This has been an engaging discussion with a lot of good questions. Some of the questions/statements a so full of conjecture, hyperbole, and "what ifs" about the sky falling that they are simply better ignored.

Between this thread and the host of comments made on a pseudo-news website recently, tonight story about CDD8 was a real hoot, I'm going to talk about this topic on my Sunday afternoon broadcast this week.

Fair warning, if you are of the mindset that a cap is need, rising amenity fees are going to cause me to move, or the developer is getting rich by raising my rate, I suggest you take an extra dose of your blood pressure medicine Sunday morning because I'm going to really set you off. Unlike when I was a CDD supervisor and county business now, I have no restrictions on this topic and I will speak my mind and let you know the truth, no matter how painful it may be.

Until Sunday, I need to refocus on getting #152 finish before the broadcast.

Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
