I love Halifax, I wonder if Don would let me camp out in his backyard?

Wow! Three islands saved from development and left for boaters to
enjoy. It doesn't get any better than this.
see.. 'Surprise Announcement'
www.mahoneislands.ns.ca

note: a number of islands have been bought up by 'rich Americans'
in the last few years...some completely stripped of forestry and
signs erected warning locals to stay away.
Then maybe rich Canadians should buy the islands and donate to a
nature conservancy?
I wondered who were the dumb asses that sold the islands to those
horrible
rich Americans!
Greedy people blinded by that yankee dollah.
Don, don't you just hate those rich son of a bitches?
He's been asked to show that the rich sons of bitches were, in fact,
Americans as he alleged. I haven't seen his response to that yet.


It's almost always "good" when this sort of development is stopped, no
matter how.

I'm still happy over the fact that our county commissioners and the
local voters stopped Wal-Mart dead in its tracks with an intention to
build some sort of "superstore" down here. The county continues to raise
its "impact" fee to discourage tract builders. But we do encourage
locally owned small businesses in existing commercial areas. Waterfront
development is allowed but the controls are pretty strict.
The local battle cry is, "Let's not become another Fairfax County."
Fairfax County is a densely populated county in Northern Virginia that
used to be a pleasant place to live. Not anymore. It's overdeveloped,
with clogged roads, overcrowded schools, declining infrastructure,
million dollar houses on an eighth of an acre lots, the whole catastrophe.

It's so bad no one will move here! All those 'bad' things, including our
local Wal Mart, are what drove the house prices so far up. Oh, please get
me out of this briar patch!
JohnH,
No it is "Please don't throw me into the briar patch". Please get your
stories correct. ;)

Obviously neither you nor the Canadians who sold off the islands value your
country very highly. You can't blame 'rich Americans' for your home grown
stupidity.


Oh my! I see a disturbing trend here. You seem to get especially
obnoxious on the weekends. I have to assume you are off duty from your
self appointed sheriff position...but you might consider getting a
handle on what your 'limit' is and make sure you stop when you reach it.


That has something to do with the sale of your islands?


Ah good...you're feeling better this morning!

Not just because they are rich...it's the 'dog with a bone' attitude.
Anyone who lives in a popular coastal area would know what I'm talking
about.
Development has been fairly slow coming to these areas and the locals
have had use of the islands for generations. Someone buys up the
property, uses it for a few weeks each summer and then guards it like a
national treasure the rest of the year. No one allowed on or near the
islands. Some even try to evict boaters anchoring in the coves...
although they only own property above the high water mark.


Hey Don, you alleged earlier that Americans bought and destroyed the
islands. Now you're saying 'someone'. Who was it? Where are the scenes of
the islands 'stripped of forestry' by Americans?


John..now that you're seeing, & hopefully thinking, more clearly...go
back to the web site and look around.

Yeah, imagine why they'd be upset to come back during those few weeks only
to find those freeloaders had peed and **** all over the place, lit fires,
left trash and generally made a mess of it. Of course, they'd be rightfully
rather mad about it and seek ways to *keep the rabble out*.


Ah ha! Thanks Bill...you've probably unwittingly hit the nail on the
head. Do you think all those absent owners think of locals as "rabble"?

Don thanks, we plan on having a family reunion with only about 50
people, and it will be nice to be able to use your backyard for a picnic
and gathering. Is it ok if we dump our portapotties in your front yard?

We do have indoor plumbing. Are your relatives toilet trained?
If not we might be able to rent a few 'Johnny on the Spots' for the
outhouse set.
The more the merrier. We have really hungry red ants back there that
haven't had a decent meal in a while.

I see that sort of crap all the time with developments I work on. The
surrounding neighbors pour into the Planning Commision meetings whining
about how they use 'X' piece of land for picnics etc, and how we should
not be allowed to develop it. They never want to buy it, even when
offered. They just want to continue to leach off of others. Why am I
not surprised that donny is of the same ilk?

Nor does it surprise me that one of your ilk is incapable of
understanding anything past the end of your nose. Nova Scotia is not the
United States. The Right to Roam is a traditional concept cherished by
many Nova Scotians, not just Don.
