Local control gives citizens influence over how their communities look, the direction in which they grow, and what sorts of businesses are permitted in different areas. We also have a design and review board which must approve every commercial structure and most residential buildings in the city, once they've been licensed. None of this local control has prevented dispensaries (or other businesses) from thriving, but it has preserved a great deal of the town's character and charm.
yea i've seen that first hand when i moved to a small town in the mountains.it gave off that good ole boy feel to it.you know the one where they do everything they can to only allow who they want to live there.then anyone else that moves in that was'nt born there is fucked with until they leave.these same towns bitch about how poor they are and why they can't be big like breck or vail.maybe it's because of all the speed traps and all the other bs they do to prey off the people riding through?
