i dont think we should bulid over land fills because that may cause future problems for Idaho like sink holes and contaminated food and water in that area i mean that they wont be able to have a garden or fertile soil.

I seriously wonder if Ada County and Boise have specific laws in place to regulate developers… These would be laws that take into account what new housing and the garbage they’lll create will do to our still rural Ada County.We need to add a new page to the American book of ” Progress ” which takes into account what new buildings,roads,and supporting infrastructure will do to our community in the terms of pollution,more traffic,crime ,urban sprawl etc.Those County and City politicians who refuse to implement these laws should be held ” severly” accountable .
PS- I like your ideas DH but we would not be free today had not France supported our revolt against King george.

A landfill or a bunch of subdivisions? It reminds me of the choices we often have at the polls in the various elections.
Or you could liken it to two lawyers having a knife fight with each other (not that THEY would ever turn on one another), highly entertaining but a big disappointment no matter which one perseveres.
At least the critters that move into landfill dumps tend to stay within those confines. They also don’t demand new schools, fire stations, roads and jails. . .
PS Welcome home Dave. But France???

EDITOR NOTE–Yes, France! The country that financed our independence from the oppressive British. The country that brought us the Statue of Liberty. The country that knows how to kiss…
