The Crazy, It's Out There!

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

We stick to just our own area of town and a few adjacent areas nowadays but the problems are slowly creeping in. I used to love this city so much, loved to explore different areas and try out new places- it was truly unique with a hometown feel to it, nothing like what I expected when I moved here. Unfortunately in the past few years it has turned into everything I feared. It's really sad, earlier in life I witnessed the same thing happen in Houston and it breaks my heart.

We are being suffocated out here. I just got the local paper and it announced another estate about to break ground. The only thing halfway decent about this one is that it will only have 78 homes, none on less than one acre, versus the 44,000 postage stamp lots that is already in the making.

When I was a kid, I dreamt about growing up and living in the city. One year of city life was enough to make me aware that city life is not for me. There must be some truth in the old adage, "You can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl."

I hope that my time on this planet will come to an end before we are completely consumed by progress. I could leave, but where would I go were it will not be just another case of rinse and repeat.

Running is not the answer, because the developers keep on developing. They won't stop until they have taken every inch.

Right about now, Elysium is starting to look real damn good.
