That's right. Unanimity. Think of the time that they will save just voting yes to everything. It will be like old home week since Matt is on first name basis with all the developers who will be asking for zoning variances.<br /><br />Without Julie, it would be payday for everyone that is funding Kunz and Large, and the existing developers on Council.<br /><br />This is completely obvious to everyone paying attention, and especially to the small number of deep pocket developers that hope to increase their fortunes at Milton's expense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21862313.post-82279570793115146252011-11-01T18:04:30.561-07:002011-11-01T18:04:30.561-07:00She is not the "balance", she is the ext...She is not the "balance", she is the extreme on one side.

You can't have the services "you" moved here for without paying for it. With so many empty houses and lots in this city, you might as well give up the tree hugging crap, realize this is 2011 and not 1911. Progression is here and you can't stop it. "If you build it, they will come." Great we built big houses and 1 walmart for them to shop in....but what about the cooks, maids, gardners, painters, security guards people.....they need a place too....wait "SOUTH COBB DRIVE" right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21862313.post-33101201121933738212011-11-01T09:46:46.323-07:002011-11-01T09:46:46.323-07:00Its obvious - this is the last unspoiled area in N...Its obvious - this is the last unspoiled area in North Metro-Atlanta. there is easy money to be made if rules can be bent. Plus, its convenient since some of the large developers actually live here.<br /><br />Keep it unspoiled and rural. We will all make out well with protected property values. This housing market may never "recover." there will be a lot of competition for housing in other areas. As we become more commercial, our home values will reduce to other area levels as we will not generate the demand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21862313.post-45591434827797856232011-11-01T08:03:48.161-07:002011-11-01T08:03:48.161-07:00Still trying to figure out why everyone is in such...Still trying to figure out why everyone is in such a rush to kill the goose that laid the golden egg in Milton. I lived off South Cobb Drive once and won't do it again. I'm willing to pay a little more in taxes if necessary to control rampant commercialism and excessive signage. So much of Atlanta has already been ruined and some are willing to sell off the rest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21862313.post-16290359299407597252011-11-01T04:54:32.505-07:002011-11-01T04:54:32.505-07:002:44, that is a perfect example...Walmart and Publ...2:44, that is a perfect example...Walmart and Publix co-existing with all that tree coverage, it looks awesomeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21862313.post-51728697256447755852011-11-01T02:44:29.762-07:002011-11-01T02:44:29.762-07:00That is a silly comment, 11:35.

She balances against the folks that are relentless in their push to waive the plans and ordinances of Milton so that they can take shortcuts. Have you taken a drive down Holcomb Bridge Rd? Alpharetta Highway through Roswell? Peachtree Industrial? Mansell? Those are all the result of no balance from a city council that defends the community.<br /><br />Contrast those streets with areas that have strong ordinances like Peachtree City, Dunwoody or Hilton Head. <br /><br />If you don't have a diligent City Council that protects the community, then you end up with urban rot. Note that you also need a community that doesn't abandon the Council (like you, for instance). As a city, we decided that we wanted an oasis from the chaos that is so pervasive in Atlanta. We decided that we wanted to protect our property values from the inevitable decline associated with unchecked growth. <br /><br />I can show you a perfect example of why you have to be constantly vigilant in defending the city against those who have funded your candidate's campaign. Take a look at these two pictures:<br /><br /><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=conyers,+ga&hl=en&ll=33.652785,-83.997511&spn=0.003617,0.006968&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=55.674612,114.169922&vpsrc=6&hnear=Conyers,+Rockdale,+Georgia&t=h&z=18" rel="nofollow">Walmart in Conyers</a><br /><br /><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Hilton+Head+Island,+SC&hl=en&ll=32.211244,-80.727206&spn=0.003676,0.006968&sll=33.652785,-83.997511&sspn=0.003617,0.006968&vpsrc=6&hnear=Hilton+Head+Island,+Beaufort,+South+Carolina&t=h&z=18" rel="nofollow">Walmart in Hilton Head</a><br /><br />We all want a vibrant city, but we want a well-planned city that is built on our terms. The developers will only do what you force them to do. If you have candidates like Kunz and Large that are bought and paid-for by developers living outside the city, then there will naturally be absolutely no control on density, aesthetics, green space, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21862313.post-33005170051705369602011-10-31T23:35:28.367-07:002011-10-31T23:35:28.367-07:00It is amazing how Julie starts talking about "...It is amazing how Julie starts talking about "balance" during election time?
