Personally, I can't take the kind of credit you can. I happen to live in an area that was, when I moved here in 1971, somewhat un-noticed by the rest of the country. Logging and saw mills were the main source of livelihood. Bumper stickers read "Have a Nice Trip Back to California" or "Don't Californicate North Idaho". Little by little, as the area has been "discovered", real estate has become the main industry, logging and mills becoming things of the past. I am in the business of building custom homes. My business depends on growth, like a doctor's depends on sickness or a mortician's depends on death, as much as I hate it. As you said, we are either part of the problem or part of the solution.
In the 38 years I have lived here I have built over 100 homes, most of them in the higher end bracket. So am I part of the problem or part of the solution?
No, I haven't personally done anything to make it okay for you to come to my town, besides paying my taxes and providing a lot of income for a lot of subcontractors and other workers. But you are welcome to come.
We do have a really cool event every year in May, called "Lost in the '50s". Any Power Wagon or similar vehicle you want to bring would undoubtedly be a hit of the show.
