It seems that communities are now understanding the negative impacts of "no growth." When the market was good, the builders and the developers were the bad guys. I have recently found where local governments in FL are now either reducing the fees or placing a moratorium on them for a temporary time period. Since I posted this last, the city council members have started to come around a bit and may be willing to vote on a temp. moratorium. That would save us a great deal of money. It would make it possible to build a project in an economy where few developers are pulling the trigger. It would put many people back to work and give them money to spend in the community, which would keep the small businessman alive. What the local governments need to understand is that this is thier means of contributing to the successful turnaround of the economic conditions we are now facing.
