How did we go from fresh food to spitting on poor people???

Let's pretend that Catherine's is just a quality food market and isn't developed by RL. Would you still have those of us shopping there spitting on poor people???
"poor" like "wealthy" is a relative term. I don't think you find any "poor" people living on Lake Martin, by my definition of "poor". Would you feel better about truning Lake Martin into a welfare estate? Would you feel better if RL mandated "low income" housing on LM? Maybe you'd like to see the entire shoreline developed into "affordable" condos?

You know, I grew up on the East Coast and have always lived near either the ocean or a lake, and in my experience, waterfront property is always in demand and therefore always sells at a premium. And as my generation retires, you are going to see the demand for waterfront soar and the prices will go with it. LM gets a lot of play as a good place to retire.

I'm sure that a lot of people whose families leased or owned lake cabins here on LM are upset about the lake changing, but it is going to change. Change doesn't necessarily mean change for the bad if it is done intelligently. I like the little Russell cabins too, and would love to see some people come in and restore them. But, too often they are falling apart with no improvements. And that makes them ripe for change.
Not every new house on the lake is a mansion. My house cetainly isn't. And my next door neighbors are planning a new house this year and I don't think they are planning on building a mansion. And several other houses on my slough have had remodeling done and they aren't mansions either.
