That big flat area of land is probably very desirable a residential
developer.


Was talking to NWPilot yesterday (he has a new story to tell!) about
Evergreen air park in Vancouver which was closed down after decades of
operation, for rampant housing development. I started thinking "This is an
echo of what the tribal Americans must have felt. Their functional way of
life crowded and closed out by a few people making big money off clueless
immigrant masses."

At some point, people have to draw the line and decide that land developers
and the officials they pay off don't always get to dictate what happens to
our communities or we will end up flying on the functional equivalent of
indian reservations. All we have to do is look to American history to see
what happened to the Seminole and the Cherokee (Pun intended) to see one
possible future.
