.... how do you build houses without cutting trees? I assume when your house was built there just happened to be a clearing right where the house sits. This is nothing more than a case of "I got mine, now nobody else shoud be allowed to build". Should they have a silt fence? Yes. Does that deserve a class action lawsuit? Absolutely NOT.

Every spring we go through this on this forum. The water starts coming up and the whiners and complainers start b!tching watercraft and the new developments that started over the winter.

Bob, you were one of the worst naysayers from last year. The lake would never be full again according to you. Property values were going to drop to the level they were in in 2000, etc etc. Now you are talking of suing someone for loss of enjoyment of something that less than a year ago was going away anyway. Good luck with that!!

Why would ANYONE buy a place on a lake and then complain about watercraft. That makes about as much sense as going to Waverly and buying property on 280, then complaining about the traffic. AS I have already stated, there are laws in place now to deal with the issue of damaged property, but nobody wants to take personal responsibillity to do it. They want the MP to come and handle it for them. Ain't gonna happen folks.

And others complaining about new developments is just as crazy. There are very few left that love the lake just for it being here. I bet that 70-80% of these new folks bought here more as an investment because the lake was 'booming" with double digit increases every year. Now they want to stop all that booming. Once again, ain't gonna happen folks. IF you don't want anything around you, buy the property yourself. If you don't, don't whine and complain when somebody else does.
