living in paradise

6/22/2006
Beautiful for the senses but hard on friendships and relationships as economics swell. We are loosing many of our great teachers and artists. We are unable to atract fresh out of school doctors and young adults. They smartly refuse to take on the high cost of living here while trying to pay back school loans. Our infrastructure is crumbling as the McMansions keep getting built and folks that want to retire take their money and run. What was once a small feeling town with many friendly faces both young and old has grown into a town of flipped houses that now sit empty and working folks looking tired and worn.
