Dear Editor:
I am what I would have in my youth called an old codger (pre-PC). I might even be a little senile (ask my kids). But there is one thing I don't understand and that is this unbridled development phase we seem to be tied to.
In my youthful days of innocence I used to ask: "How many people can they cram in the North Shore?" The answer, now, seems to be: unlimited. Now I ask: to whose benefit is this? I am afraid I do not find my quality of life improving. Exactly the opposite.
Is there a virus causing this frenzy? Is it in the water? Perhaps we have been seduced by mind control.
This old codger believes slowing down would not be a bad thing.
