no shit sherlock. I'm all for no billboards but A250 is a dinosaur that needs extinction in place of new legislation that is more up to date with the times. It was passed in 19 fricking 70 for crying out loud.

If there were lots of high, paying jobs, housing was inexpensive and the weather delightful there would be hordes of people here. The lack of these three factors has kept things largely the way they are with people here willing to make the financial and lifestyle sacrifices that living here requires.
