CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

LP, re the push back from regions.  A very good example of this was in a two page spread in The Age outlining the conflict between the owner of Jayco and long-term residents of Nagambie.

It was reported that he wants to spend a considerable amount of money on development in the area which will result in a doubling of the population.

This has upset many current residents because they fear their way of life is under threat from "progress".

[member=40]Macca37[/member] Actually, I haven't read that article but by coincidence I know some people from Melbourne that have a holiday farmlet up near Jamieson, they specifically bought there as a weekender so it wouldn't be overrun as you described, and now there is an influx of newbies who are loading up with proposals to turn local watering holes and cafés into fine dining, the locals are not happy! The fine dining stuff is OK for occasional victors, but residents and regular weekenders do not want to be paying $35 for a Fish-n-Chip main course, they just want a regular pub with regular family meals!

I could tell you another story, but if I post it I'd probably get banned or labelled a bigot, let's just say identifying as a DINK up there doesn't make you many friends. I think a safe rule when travelling is always fit in with the locals, when you get wherever you are going don't try to make it like home! :o
