Development Rumours

Thats right. They were afraid of the hurricane force winds that the "towers" would create on the "world class paddling course".

Its true they had a couple of World Championships, and I don't dispute that the course is world class. Thing is, when they had the world championships, they were held in the shadow of, wait for it, two new 12 story condo buildings. And guess what, no wind, no shadows, no algae, and kudos all around on the "world class paddling course"

This is another case of Nimby. People who have property on the lake feel the lake id their own private backyard. Just like people living near the commons feel it is an extension of their own yards. The fuss raised by people when they couldn't use 100% of the commons for 2 1/2 days last year when the Stones came to town (Yes it took about 2 weeks to setup, and some grounds were fenced off for remediation afterward, but 75% of the common was open to the public for all but a couple of days)
