design and then go over there in the common area to play. Why,you know, I want my <br /> kids to play in my yard so that means I want a little bigger lot. You, know, every time I <br /> read about it it's like, oh, those people that want those big yards,man, we gotta do <br /> something about that. We can't have that. <br /> I can't pinpoint it but it's my sentiment that I see running through some of that <br /> stuff and I just think that, ah, I think it does demonstrate that the result of this will be: <br /> 1. We are either gonna make it, we are gonna try and engineer something that is <br /> contrary to peoples natural tendencies and therefore we are essentially, (6) the result will <br /> be that people will be less likely to come and go into town and that's gonna impact <br /> people that rely on that activity for their livelihoods and makes it less likely for them or <br /> makes it more likely they'll do their stuff some place else. <br /> So I look through that and I say, ah, I think even when you take the simple things <br /> like the aging population you're just not gonna get somebody—who, who are you talking <br /> about that's gonna walk to the grocery store? We don't have a grocery store in our <br /> walking district now. They're not gonna get on their bike and ride their bike to the clinic <br /> for their checkup. Or the dentist. That's just not gonna happen on a broad scale. There <br /> will be exceptions. But I just don't, I just can't see us not recognizing the natural, <br /> people's natural habits, their inclination to get in their car and even drive 3 or, you know, <br /> my parents, they don't walk down the block, for Pete's sake. My Dad can hardly walk. <br /> He's gonna drive everywhere and as the population ages, I expect the demand for good <br /> road transportation in the cars to get even stronger. <br /> If it was all getting younger we'd send all those kids down the trail. Having said <br /> that, in this day and age, after Jacob Wetterling, very few of us parents are just sending <br /> our kids out, like say I used to do when I was a kid. I'm 14 years old biking 30 miles to <br /> some campsite in the middle of no place and canoeing down the Mississippi River on my <br /> own with my buddies. That would never happen these days. Parents are too concerned <br /> about abductions and that sort of thing. <br /> So I just don't, I like the sidewalks, I like the trails. I like that stuff but I don't see <br /> it being used. I can't see somebody come and shop for 2 hours in downtown Pequot, <br /> you know, rollerblading the trail down there and we need to build lockers for our roller <br /> 4 <br />
