I just wanted to introduce this group to Strong Towns, a non profit devoted to making development make sense. I worked with the founder of Strong Towns years ago when the idea was new.
The issues and framework of Strong Towns transcend partisan politics and instead gathers people under the banner of demanding that our towns be built to upon principles most any reasonable person would want to see enacted. Principles like: development responsive to local needs and financial transparency.
Please check them out.
I’m curious what town you are referring to?
I don’t remember anymore. Something in southern MN, but it’s was at least 3 years ago, I remember being disgusted that they would pull something so stupid and quit reading completely.
