Nope! My account did get purged, though... oops... Good to see you around still!Yup, still building things :) It has been like forever, Miss Kitti! I thought you disappeared forever!
It's a long story about the wine industry here. Aside from the depletion of resources and being seemingly invisible to laws regarding water usage and illegal hiring/firing practices, they often clear cut natural growth to expand. The other issue is the snooty people that vacation/have vacation homes here, I mean yeah they bring a lot of money in, but have little to no respect for the counties history. It's a mirrored sentiment of many older generation families that have been here forever. People like myself can't really afford to live here, but without contacts in other places it's not easy to relocate.
That actually sounds like a very interesting situation. Not a good one to be in, by the sounds of it, but interesting in the split between bringing in a lot of money but still being harmful to the community. I know that there has been a lot of difficulty in the natural resources in that area and it goes to figure that in order to maintain, they would have to use more than they should be allotted... hmm. A problem indeed.
Anywhere you'd be looking to relocate to, besides the hope to one day retire on a tropical island and drink piña colada all day?
