This isn’t just a hit to homeowners; it’s a blow to our local economy,” it states. “Let’s halt the noise, protect our wildlife, and secure our property values.”” lol zero shame. at least they’re honest i guess.
- AlbertCory 3y agonot really. Wildlife?
- ethanbond 3y agoYes the endangered Million-billed Landlarder. They’ve been facing stiff territory competition from the Billion-billed Landlarders.
- laweijfmvo 3y agoThey keep throwing "wildlife" into every sentence in the article, but the rest of the quotes keep getting worse (i.e. more honest) until the one I quoted, where they basically call home prices the "local economy". Reminds me of a political candidate whose staff keeps reminding them to say "wildlife" but inevitably lets the truth slip out.

I imagine their "financial situation" has left them completely out of touch with the common person.
