Personally I would rather have no rec center at zero percent. People and governments all go broke with "nice to haves" How many ads do you see for "all new furniture for less than a cup of coffee per day" One of my co workers was complaining about saving for a house. I pointed out she was spending $600/month on coffee. After adding it up for her and her husband she was horrified to see I was right. I make coffee at home.

We all need to learn the power of the word, no.

when I was a teen the town had about 1500 people. That amount is up by about 4x but the amount of town employees is up by about 20x. when do we have enough and who's quality of life is improved by a bunch of extra hands looking for stuff to spend money on justify their employment.

I remember a couple years ago everyone was heated up over building pointless sidewalk from the old country store to the gas station.

People used to move to a small town for the lifestyle but then of course a large percent then want to re-create what ever they left behind,
