NATERING NABOBS OF POSITIVISM


There is a very complimentary piece in the SNH proclaiming that the third Homearama in ten years indicates Suffolk is the place to be and  buying an expensive home is the “thing.” The piece presumes that inserting, “nattering nabobs of negativism” will head off all contrary thinking. But my first thought was to consider the current status of previous Homearamas. Following that were financial conditions of some overeager developers, many former owners, and even banks with large inventories of now empty homes. Nor would I choose to live on nearly treeless plains where immense mushrooms loom above stretches of grass. The SNH piece pictured a typical developer touch…an oasis with pond and bridge where it is assumed the subdivision population may gather to visit and cook wieners on hibachis while they converse about local issues and share pictures of the kids who are at the oceanfront. Lord just let us keep our average home among the trees with room for a few tomatoes.

Another Homerama and a Disneyesque like new vision in beautiful Northern Suffolk with wind turbines and balloons is not good news. These projects will require more pesticides to maintain lawns and flower beds that in turn will pollute the rivers and lakes. Moreso the harmful effects to the SNH's newest little friends bees will be nothing less than catastrophic. They'll be chopped to pieces by the wind turbine blades, confused by the giant floating flower in the sky or poisoned. Our little flower in city hall Ms. Seward, should propose a sustainable bee tax with the SNH's endorsement just in time for this year's budget. Honey, isn't nature wonderful it provides for all our needs even the city's.

A New Vision illustrated in the Suffolk News Herald with a hot air baloon being pushed towards the whirring blades of wind turbines is indeed not a pretty sight. It demonstrates what Suffolk's city administration has become, colorful but not much brain power behind it.
