I was fortunate to be able to find a nice home about 10 years ago in Evergreen. I moved there because I wanted a friendly, small town with a country atmosphere. But, that's all going away. Everywhere you turn they're putting up a new mansion or strip mall. Some are done well and some, not so well.
Quality of life means many things to many people.
If you still can, then cherish this moment in time, because the stars are beginning to fade. Now, I'm all for progress. After all, I'm in the technology business. And I believe that people have a right to do what they want with their property and earn a profit if they can. But not at someone else's expense.
