Your taxes today have given you a return on;
More development without an infrastructure to support it;
An unenjoyable weekend lake boating experience;
Real estate congestion;
Hired help deficiencies;
Multi-millionaires, tearing down homes or developing undeveloped land to build homes without any concern as to affect on neighbors, nor any effort to be friendly.
I won't get into the politically changing environment that seems to be aligned with the development of grass lawns.
Am I becoming a curmudgeon, a gilded lover of The Lake, a nostalgic, or lost in the fog? Not sure. Probably all of the above.
I wonder where this Lake will be in 25 years?

100% Maybe 110%.
But as you imply--maybe part of the solution is political, or at least public policy--Maybe no allowable increase in footprint or height on the waterfront? Maybe no lawns allowed within 50 or 100"? Maybe no new roads or fertilizer in the watershed at all?
