“…or so it appears to this (new) reader”

Glad you’re a new reader, Eric (aka “proac” aka “antiboyd”), and I hope you’ll return. Please feel free to post under your real name.

I am glad that these ten residents of Belmont — plus one guest — have a place to air their grievances. Too bad it is on a backwater weblog site whhere few serious residents of the area loiter — or so it appears to this (new) reader.

Despite the well-voiced complaints, I see nothing too new here. It does make me gald that I do not live in Belmont — the residents’ description of their environment sounds dreadful — and, frankly, I cannot stand to live around cranky, complaining neighbors. Mine, fortunately, are sufficiently docile — AND — they don’t use my yard as a toilet (not even for their dogs).

It also verifies something I believed all along. That is, this entire broohaha has at its roots Bel|Rio’s so-called “Christmas Striptease Party” — whch it wasn’t. Oh, and that it is not JUST Bel Rio, but all the restaurants and nightlife — or life of any sort.

The solution appears obvious to me. Forget noise ordinances. Close down all the restaurants. Put up Hospital Zone signs. And get on with life.
