What Is The Right Thing To Do? (Part two)

At last nights council meeting, the issue of the ordinance concerning manufactured homes was not mentioned during the meeting. That issue was not part of the agenda. The issue was addressed at the end of the meeting when citizens brought the issue up and asked why the issue was not on the agenda. The tap dance was done by the mayor, who said the council would have to wait for the planning commission to rewrite the ordinance, present it to them and then they could approve it. The ordinance would then have to go back to the commission for a public hearing. After that the ordinance would be put up for a final vote, and depending on the public input at the public hearing, the council would either vote to approve the changes to the ordinance, that would allow manufactured homes, or they would disapprove the changes and the old ordinance would stay in effect.

Nothing was done. The owners of mobile homes that are "grandfathered" in (as the mayor is calling it) are allowed to do as they please. It's the new folk, young folk and poor folk like me that can't afford a house that will be left out in the cold. We will have to move out of the town limits and we are persona's non-gratis. The town does not seem to care where we go or what we do as long as they can't see our places from theirs.
