10. Sitting in on several town's zoning meetings, you can see 2 of 5 zoning board members recuse.

Two will recuse because they are working on a convenience store project, two others will recuse because they are working with a gas station chain, and it goes on throughout the night. Two recuse themselves and the other three green light the projects. The zoning board members all are part of architectural firms, and it just is a fluke that all the corporate zoning petitions pass through these 4 or five firms. And it's also a coincidence that they all get approved.

Then, the residents, after having sat through an hour of this shit, get their balls busted for simple requests.

At least their zoning board members recuse themselves. Baitball Blogger Oct 2019 #13

A lot of these towns get almost no ratables from these warehouses, kicking costs onto residents. TheBlackAdder Oct 2019 #9
