Overdevelopment

What was once a charming small town is now a backyard of development that has not aligned with any future vision other than putting more people closer to Main Street. With a 3 mile radius this was the solution. At the same time, beautiful older homes were torn down and some properties inherited 2 larger cookie cutter homes. The result of overdevelopment has now burdened our schools and now a new school is needed to handle the growth.  The irony is the Council is only now soliciting a study on what happened and what can be done.  Is it not too late for that?  Moreover, most of the zoning ordinances already were written but were not enforced when applications from one main developer continued forward.  The solution is not more ordinances. The solution is enforcing what is in place and stop selective application approvals. The solution is planning for future development so public services are not constrained or overburdened.  The solution is in front of us. A Certified Public Accountant needs to be at the table to ask the tough questions and demand answers now, not when they want to share the answers.
