Kimo,
Sorry I wasn't directing a focus on you per se. It's just the larger over all mentality of people these days to shake their fists at those who came here before us. We all moved here willingly and the things we face are very similar to what many of the people faced back in the days of living on the old "stump farms". Crappy roads, power, water and sewer issues, etc. We're here pioneering in land developments, not housing developments. We have many comforts not afforded to those who did it long before us (those even back in the states 60+ years ago). We have solar power, cellular phones etc. I'm sorry but I really find it disturbing to see people question the integrity of those who shaped our today from yesterday without climbing into their minds back then.
LOL and yes the Shipmans have set themselves up well. I'm sure you've seen the subdivision they created along the coast just south of their home? Not sold or offered yet but hanging under a conservancy designation... well played on their behalf.
