If economic growth and proeperity come from immigration of others to Sussex, coupled with an expansion of services based on a broader tax base and demand. How do you propose we address the ongoing zoning issues, if not by law? The NIMBY arguement is a popular one, as well as traffic issues. In a recent thread and on te news this morning, people cited the dangerous intersections as a reason to deny growth. Face it folks, the route you travel is a choice based on safety, not conveniance.

You can not have growth and prosperity without the above. So which do you choose, and how?
This is the problem of living among retirees and 2nd homes. Retirees don’t want I pay for anything beyond their own utilities. Not for schools or roads. The 2nd home folks are little better. Neither has any real investment in the future or see any need for growth. Retirees have no need for jobs or the things that bring jobs. The 2nd homers work somewhere else and as long as they can get here and back they are happy.
If you say that the interests of “retirees and 2nd homes” are not aligned with yours because they do not want to pay “for schools and roads” which you do, then why you want more of such people to move to an RV park where you live ?
Well Delacrat if you would read what I write instead of reading what you think I mean you would see that I did not say I “wanted” anything. I said that the park should be approved based on the law. I don’t have to want something to be intellectually honest enough to see the truth.
@Frank: “Retirees have no need for jobs or the things that bring jobs.”
Huh? Retirees by definition have no need for jobs for themselves, but they do have a need for things that bring jobs. Or maybe I misunderstood your meaning.
Honi, want I mean is that they don’t seem to have the same desire to create new jobs, because they don’t need a job, and their children don’t live here in most cases and their grandchildren won’t go to our schools.
About the only thing that retirees are concerned with is health care, which does create jobs, good paying jobs, but not every high school graduate will want to be a phlebotomist.
So Delacrat shows their intellect, how?
Frank likes to make many assumptions about people (retirees) and call it intellectual honesty.
Of course if you are the BIC (blogger in charge) it must be true, right Frank?
The socialist conservatives republicans want private profits and public risk coverage for the pigs on Wall street. They want to allow Wall Street banks to trade risky financial derivatives from subsidiaries that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Why would any middle class person vote republican other than to satisify their racial resentments or their crazed selfish obsessions? They want to kill Dodd Frank too because the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform law required them to move many of the gambling transactions to other subsidiaries that are not insured by taxpayers
@Frank: “About the only thing that retirees are concerned with is health care, which does create jobs, good paying jobs, but not every high school graduate will want to be a phlebotomist.”
Nationwide, retirees provide $963 billion and 6.2 million jobs in economic support to the economy (National Institute for Retirement Security). The largest impact in job creation occurs mostly in food services, real estate, retail trade, and healthcare sectors.
BTW, the starting annual salary for a phlebotomist in Sussex is about $26K. Top of the salary range is about $39K. Not great. Of course if you’re a vampire then the psychic rewards are incalculable.
Honi, the other jobs you listed are not high paying jobs either.
Reality Check, I am not making assumptions, I am giving my opinion based on my experiences. In talking to many of the retirees in the area this is the attitudes I have found. Notice I have not said anywhere, “ALL”.
Try making your argument about the topic and not about me, or other commentators here.
Why do Republicans support allowing Wall St Banks to do the very thing that crashed the economy in 2008? Why would anyone who is aware of reality support such a party that threatens the world economy because its controled by Citi Bank
Here you go, this is your chance to set the topic of conversation, have at it.

Well Frank, I agree that you do have problems with intellectual honesty.
