Wellington Hills Park - a buffer zone near the Urban Growth Boundary

Listening... looking at the bureaucrats when they make public comments about my community, my neighborhood ... as if it's square on a checkerboard ... a crumb on a bread board ... a not important place, an obscurity in their quest for expansion... 

Unfortunately, their efforts of conquest are real. Hernán Cortés would understand.

Driving east through Wellington Hills Park.

Turning around, a few hundred yards west beyond the buffer of the park, 240th Street meets Route 9.

During the day, lots of trucks

 typical evening traffic on Route 9

and inside the Urban Growth Boundary
peering down at Costco, Route 9 and Hwy 522

Aboda and Primus... Route 9 and beyond

Move the Urban Growth Boundary to suit their fancy?
The callousness of bureaucrats is mind boggling.
Of course they don't live here... we're an abstraction to them... a speed bump, nothing more.
