Barking dogs…That’s Who They Are…
A wise person once said that builders and developers are like barking dogs...that's what they do and you can't change them. And the following proves that point quite well.
Peggy Porter wrote a letter to the editor about a condo project, The Vyne, where the developer did what most developers do…just bulldozed , tore down the old house and started construction. Well, the developer responded. This is the vernacular so well expressed by my housekeeper who often translates canine speak:
Bark, bark, bark….”forefront”….bark, bark, bark, “conservative”…bark, bark, “incrementalism…implementation tool”…bark, bark, bark, “developers” bark, bark, “public policy”…bark, bark, bark, “incremental steps” bark, bark, bark…”others jump on the bandwagon”…bark, bark, bark…”scale”…bark, bark, bark “market risks”….bark, bark, bark.
Did I hear “tree” anywhere? Oh, that’s right, they are gone.
