i disagree completely. HOA's should be public from the get go. but there should be strict 30 day response time. And penalties such as lower tax rates if hte govt' is unable to respond in a timely matter. It is not hard to have a small town hall meeting and vote for a project. people just don't want to go that way. you will find that in many places, the people who want better jobs and a larger ecnomy on their town will be very supportive of development.
assuming 200,000 mouths to feed (half of the pop.) AT $5 per day bare minimum cost to purchase food per person = $1,000,000 a day. 1 months food cost is $30,000,000. Where is the gov't going to get this money from? Death from Conora notwithstanding the economy must be opened. Are we really going to continue like this until next year? next decade? The virus isn't going away. hide your head in the sand or face it bravely either way it is a day of reckoning. I bet all those religious folks calling to repent before the rapture are loving life right now. This is the rapture no?
How do you make that statement? Where does Govt get the money to pay salaries for the public servants? if there ain't no blood from the private sector stone... then what?
