COMMENT
Paradise is fine just the way it is, thank you...
My wife and I moved here in 2014 to get away from Silicon Valley, the traffic, the pollution, and the politics. I've read many comments bemoaning the fact that we like this little town just the way it is. I don't want to have people leaving the cesspools they have created to come up here, only to enact similar policies in place that destroyed their previous habitats. "Good old boy" comment....sheesh, you want to insult my mother as well? People here are down to earth, help their neighbors in need, volunteer their services to the community through hard labor and sacrifice...not march down the street with signs alleging change is needed to solve society's failures. You want to talk about crime? The people who bought our old house in San Jose were burglarized shortly after they moved in, and a couple days later their car was stolen. Drugs are everywhere, not just up in the Sierra foothills...just something you learn to live with. Sure, the weather here is nothing like the Bay Area...at night, we can see the stars. We can breathe the air. Our sky is blue, not a muddled grey. We watch the deer walking up the street...not hookers.
