Feb, like you I have recently finished the building process (in Tallapoosa county) and have seen the sausage making process up close and it's a site...so I agree with some of the ideas expressed here about the need for change/improvement in regulating quality growth. Problem is it's not likely to change or get any better until there is a state wide effort to address it. Other states (Georgia in particular) have had to deal with these issues in haphazard ways years earlier until they finally decided to write new and updated state constitutions so that some of the powers at the state level could be ceded to the local governments. This was a long and hard thing to do in Ga because of the political interests at play. Until there is a ground swell at the local level putting pressure on ALL state Reps and state Senators in every district, and a powerful group of elected people to lead the effort......we all might well relax and enjoy the ride. Don't know much about AL politics, but I would bet there are too many large private land owners in the state for anything substantive to take place on that front in the short term. Otherwise, we're all left to grow the influence of pressure groups (like the HOBOS, etc) to harrass and educate as much as we can..........Whew, pass the cold beer!
