Please trust our beloved librarian on the importance of wording, especially in constructing classifications and in correlating texts. The attention to detail and effort up front is worth it.
The massive built-out-to-the-property-line 45 room 'bed and breakfast' (which looks like a 19th century penitentiary with crenelated battlements and guard tower) next to the municipal building should be a constant reminder to officials of how greed driven developers will exploit every loophole they can grab on to. And then try to grab town property (sidewalks in this case) if they are permitted to. Yikes.
With all of this talk about growth in BH and what is being proposed to accommodate it….has anybody asked if we actually want major population growth here or whether or not it’s environmentally responsible to do so? If said growth happens, can natural resources and public infrastructure handle it? With the town stretched beyond its means, can we afford bolstering infrastructure (town water/sewer) outside of town? Who are they? Do they work on the island or are they just people that desire to live here? Is there any work on the island for them? If so, are they jobs that can sustain the cost of living here? The term affordable housing and crisis has been tossed around pretty willy nilly and I’m admittedly kind of confused. Fairly open ended but could someone at least ballpark a price for affordable housing? Can someone identify who this crisis is affecting? I don’t see much if any of a homeless population on the island. I would think it would be prudent to have these questions explored and defined before jumping the gun on land use changes. Unintended consequences could be devastating.
