Neil,<br> <br> I live in Roswell GA. I believe we are the capital of strip malls. I recall going to a meeting where Jerry Wood, our future x Mayor along with some very aggressive developers were proposing putting all of the "Under-Developed Land" to good use? They want to place a Nail Salon and Gem Clip store on every spot of land. Why??? Ok, all of the strip malls, (empty or full) have a pretended value. All of the undeveloped land also has a value, (much lower). If the city and county gain via over development, what do you suppose is gonna happen? Yep, you got it, more strip malls and a greater revenue stream. <br> It almost sounds like business, (a entity that grows only to create profit through revenue resulting in employ of more people.) The difference here is government has no profit motive. It's a lot like a Homeowners Association that has no controls. Set the fees and spend the money. Need more money to spend, increase the fees. Write checks with no accountability.<br> Part od the problem is we don't have enough people to visit all of the strip malls. Now that you can't get a home loan without proving income, you're actually gonna use the money to buy a house that someone truely owns with clean title, we've narrowed down to expendable income opportunities.<br> In Roswell, it's a result of bad management of government resources. Translation; using tax dollars to grow more government with no accountability. <br> Anyone in Roswell, have you noticed the government making your life better? More importantly, do you want the government trying to make your life better, or just concentrate on the basics, control of our borders, oversight of our Banking system. <br> For laughs, google House Financial Comittee. Who was supposed to provide oversight? Who failed in the oversight? I'm not certain these guys could help businees if they were given a plan that had a history of successes.
