Well Jack as I made clear in my last post, I don't fault the City
for the meters if they make more money from them than from those who
will stay away because of them.
Financailly I have no choice but to say it's a good move on their
part, if that's the case.
Not sure then why that would raise such vitriol as you posted below.
I'm exercising my option to go elsewhere, not change what AP has
decided is best for themselves. That's harmony.
I will add a part (D) to your reasons below:
The Tao of the Clamdigger.
It's a spiritual thing.
I'd explain it, but you wouldn't understand.
