People who live on or near Cape Cod have seen probably story latest news about old Chatham historic village house. John Hallett, structure of Greek-revival white columned known for decades as the Calico cat, was already looking for a bit seedy when its owner is a long-dead a few years ago. Property to buy in the price of 1.9 million hcharotiam by private owners who wanted to restore it, move it back a bit and turned into a road within walking distance of the widow, several other features. Unfortunately the new owners, the House is a national Historic district. Any offer for a property so you need to navigate the maze of almost impossible of regulations, including the old Chatham village Association, the city of Chatham Cape Cod Commission Board design.
Let's be clear. Everyone wants to preserve the character of the old village. The principle which the new owner is suggested a violation. But that's not how the system works. Boards and commissions are different you don't want to influence the architecture in the old village, and they want to input or the ability to stop changes most egregious. Our local government wants full control of everything happens absolute and right to say "no" to everything that is offered, no matter how trivial. We have seen this problem when working in a painful process of building the new CVS Pharmacy conserving our local supermarket in only a portion of the Chatham's commercial. Although Dvrm amazingly support the project. The city was not so sure.Last year, the storyboard of the Transport Committee, the Committee of Chatham County historical business, other committees held 21 discussions, a few hours over time, discusses whether the city should approve items such as color carpets and employees CVS should wear uniforms. Government is out of control – not only to the federal level.
The new owner of Calico cat has been finally frustrated with the process of planning and bloated. After all, they are the owner of the House and pay taxes on it. Anyway, a few weeks ago, with which the property owner with a new paint job: lime green, dark green trim and bright yellow columns and Kadar.If you really want to see this, look at the monster http://www.capecodtoday.com/blogs/index.php/2010/08/11/chatham-outdoes-ptown?blog=69. However, a much narrower may sympathize with that have this property forms and reports, and their response that face, that's a lose-lose situation. No one gets what he wants, everyone suffers.
Unfortunately, this process has become standard operating procedure in the United States. Current management wants to control, not influence. We have seen it work with financial management, health, economic reform and, potentially, energy, climate. Rather than focus on a significant reform, fundamental, the management wants to just keep everything down our throats. We, for example, reduce carbon emissions with our national nuclear program, quickly exploit rejuvenated in our new found shale gas, electricity rate reform and a few steps.It is not good enough. The Federal Government wants to control how we use energy, what we drive, how we drive, how hot or cold, we keep our houses, which we will use the lights and anything else there is flexibility, and without compromise.My or the RTE. seek and destroy.
I am going to start teaching my oil economics class at the school Fletcher at bloriot. My advice is simple: before my students rocked the location all an important issue, write the talking points and set out to fight, do two things.
First, do your homework and analyze the problem.Find out what's important, what's not.Run the numbers.Investigate the problem.Consider different points of view.Our municipality officials and live in a world of perception, but actually is the real world, the real implications of policy have real people here more to life than to have moved the focus groups hmhog. Second, make common cause with people really looking for solutions, if they agree with you or not. be careful about joining with the zealots, even if they support your positions frequently I agree with the head of Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham, but they shout too much for my taste. I prefer to discuss the thinker and the citizens.
If we after two large-scale these principles, the way we have done during the second world war, cold war, then maybe, just maybe, we reduce the effect of "Green House".
