I'm not a libertarian, but it's really none of my business whether this waterfront building is 3 stories or 4 stories. People all over Bellingham are talking about it, of course. Everything is talked to death.
As the world gets more crowded, everyone's in each other's backyards and everyone's going to be in each other's business.
It's across town from me, so why should I worry?
I will say that the plans call for a 4 story building in order to economically justify the construction of an underground parking garage in that complex.
Things people must do to accommodate the almighty automobile.
If folks want to fret about the extra story, they should ride bikes or take the bus. Less need to justify expensive garages.
When chatting to a friend in Australia about all these issues, he says, "boy, I wish that's all I had to worry about." "3 or 4 stories in a building clear across town."
I say, "what problems are in your life?"
His reply, "other problems like having a life."
Like, "get a life man."
Some condominium owners might be upset about a changing view, but their condominiums changed the view also.
Then there's folks who say I'd be missing the point not worrying too much. It's a promise for some height limit that the city has made and then altered.
OK, I guess only a lawyer might pay that much attention to the process leading to the manufacture and then changing of height limits. I'm getting bored now not being a lawyer. Of course, we don't have enough lawyers, ha, ha.
