This has certainly been a challenging summer. The big challenge has been the planning and zoning meetings and maneuvering through those towns/ villages that are now playing catch up with all the new environmental and zoning changes. There's nothing like a rapid rise in property values and out-of-state owners to jump start the process. I just think that many places just aren't up to snuff to handle the change.
The problem is that I have clients who get caught up in the process and suffer from the lack of understanding that these towns just don't want to address. Namely, the common sense factor. Stop the bureaucratic crap and see the forest for the trees and ACT! Tabling motions, postponing decisions, etc. really just add to the frustration.
It's a big race to either get ahead of what may happen with these boards and their possible delays or fight what is really just a large step towards inhibiting an owner's ability to use their property by delay tactics and procedural technicalities that mean nothing in the end.
