in this new community are a couple coming from California. But they are coming from Orange County. I suspect they could be Republicans. One of the first comments from her on our Slack board was about "taxes". I ran it out for her--what each of us owners were paying to preserve the land for conservation-- and she backed down. But the knee jerk tax comment raised my expectation of possible Republicanism.

The handyman who has worked for me for over a decade has a new helper--an older guy-- who has lived out in the country near Raleigh for 20 years. He told me that within 3 miles of his country place there is a development of 3,000 new houses being built!!!
Somebody is expecting a lot more people coming here!

My little development of 93 houses is being built on an old horse farm with great proximity to UNC, to Duke, to RDU, to the Research Triangle.
