Growing up in Winchester my entire life and seeing how things have changed makes me miss the way the town use to be. Every time I see a farm sold off and houses built, it brings on these emotions. The truly sad part about the way these communities are placed, its more about maximizing profits and not enough effort is spent thinking long term.<br /><br />If the land developers and zoning approvers would think about the long term impacts and not about how much profit can be made and tax revenue will be generated, the parcels might look differently. Residents could be happier and they might even be healthier!<br /><br />If you want to truly understand something, try to change it. ~Kurt LewinRob DeHavenhttp://robdehaven.comnoreply@blogger.com
