HB 487--
also, it sounds to me like one way to kill community, the sense that lives
and properties are interwoven and sacrifices are made for the common good.
when individual claims reign supreme, when greed and self-serving choices
can not be challenged by the "us" in our community, the door is open for
more pig farms and gravel pits in residential neighborhoods (not a
joke--those two uses of land in residential neighborhoods in Asotin County
which has no planning or zoning is a sad, but true, reality).
This is a serious issue. I would appreciate more comment and debate on
this legislation--especially more info from the ever-helpful Tom Trail.
