Nice shot, Larry. The mountain in background is perfect. Did you go tophotography school?
Keep up the good work.
Until later.............
Thanks.
Nah, just know a good thing when I see it.
It is said that the Swiss dairy subsidies are so large that each cow costs more per year than the cost of a kid going to college.
Never, ever, forget that this view is subsidized. Taxes in Amherst would be lower if this land (and other land like it) could be taxed at its highest use (developed) and not as agricultural land.
There are other costs involved here too -- were there more housing (were this land to be bulldozed) then there would be less traffic because people wouldn't have to commute as far to, well, UMass.
There is a cost involved in having a public golf course. There is a cost involved in keeping land undeveloped -- enjoy both but never forget that there are very real costs involved.
