I am happy that there is so much demand and homes sell so fast. It's nice to see so much appreciation in home prices. I truely believe that the Morse family has done a fabulous job here. I think it is time for "them" to re-think some of the scheduling of events...
Speaking of scheduling...To call at 7:30AM and not be able to get a same-day appointment at THEIR highly prompted as "Marcus Welby" type of neighborhood health care centers is just...well...wrong. EVERY general practice doctor's office I have ever been to keeps some time each day for "same day" appointments, that are not urgent enough for an Urgent Care Center. At least for those that call early in the day. I didn't need to see MY doctor.
So really, I am frustrated by a few things here that I see can be improved...And maybe frustrated is too strong word.

Regardless of the influx of population here, the nationwide shortage of primary care doctors (due to limits and too few residency training slots) will continue to affect the ease/dificulty of getting in to see one's doctor, as we baby boomers reach age 60-65 now. See:
