I built homes in Plymouth and surrounding towns for over 30 years. I’m disgusted by the prices of housing and there’s one reason for it.
The reason is government overreach. Planning boards and environmental groups are disgusting. Turtles and butterflies have become more important than people. Environmental groups are typically made up of anti-human, self-hating lunatics. Planning boards are filled with NIMBY types. They talk in a caring and condescending manner about school overloads and too much demand on services. [They’ve] never had an original thought in their life.
Building departments are bloated and filled with people who’ve never built anything, never taken a risk, but they’ll stand there and tell a seasoned builder what he’s doing wrong.
I fought a building cap in town almost 30 years ago that limited the number of homes to 150 per year in Plymouth. We never reached that number. Elitists have shut everything down by zoning through health and environmental laws and codes. It’s disgusting.
If you think you can’t afford a house because of greedy builders, you’re wrong. Left wing elitist trust fund do-nothings have made it impossible to build. The good news is that they’ve made housing so expensive their own kids can’t afford to live here, so even some of [them] are coming around.
Change happens quickly. We need an Elon Musk Twitter situation in this town and state. Fire and gut 80 percent of town employees, boards, agencies, cops, and watch your taxes go down and housing prices go down. Watch your life get better. Watch prices of everything go down.
This is America, not Communist China. I want everyone to be able to do what they want with their own house and their own land.
If you are not part of building things, creating things, growing things and fixing and repairing things you’re in the way and you’re a drag on society. Go do something useful and stop living off of taxpayers. Maybe I’ll give you some real respect then, instead of saying “that’s a great idea” while thinking “what a loser.”
