I am grateful that people like Benjamin Shiller and David Cuetos are creating public service videos and atbulations for our general understanding. The Planning Board and the Select Board should utilize these useful charts and take theiir assistance to sort out issues. . It emerges from the

Hello Louis, I believe your reference to a scare tactic is not accurate. Perhaps unlikely to be reached (but who knows once developers get involved in a "by-right" situation) but these real numbers came from a flawed State model corrected by David Cuetos. He's the only one I know of who
