Investment in undermining orderly evaluation of proposals and violations seems to be praiseworthy in this commenter's view. To say nothing of the tax rebates developers receive while residents are subjected to tax increases that require a unanimous vote to exceed previously adopted restraints.<br />It's not an attack on business to advocate for their compliance with regulations, any more than an attorney general who observes ethical rules on conflicts of interest is attacking the president. This is a distinction you really need to understand, as a citizen of a republic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-37608153244802905692017-07-21T09:01:44.958-07:002017-07-21T09:01:44.958-07:00I can't believe a car dealership is growing at...I can't believe a car dealership is growing at a location like this.<br /><br />Should be a showroom with a few cars to test drive.

The problem is this sets a scary precedence to landowners, residential and commercial, that pushing the boundaries is worth trying for. I guess considering the CCT fence debacle already set that precedence though. Betsynoreply@blogger.com
