Update on housing development
Remember Chris Stone, the man who is trying to build some housing at the south end of town and getting the runaround from the county? The last time I wrote about him he was awaiting a promised meeting with county officials. Right after that episode it turns out that the county decided it can't talk to him directly anymore because at some point in his addresses to supervisors he said something about having to resort to some legal action if the county continues to jerk him around. So, the county, instead of meeting with him as promised turned around and said, oh no, now we can't meet with you because you are a potential lawsuit.
That is a twisted, stupid attitude and one that just confirms why no one wants to come to this county to try to create jobs, or desperately needed housing or anything else. When someone actually does file suit against the county, then by all means go to your corners, but to cut off communications with someone hiding behind "you might sue us" is cowardly and uncalled for.
