I look forward to attending at least one of these meetings. Based on what I learned at the April(?) green building/light/parking meeting, I believe these new regulations should be opposed because they will increase the size and authority of our government, intrude upon private property rights, complicate the decisions of home buyers and sellers, and increase the cost of new buildings and home renovations as to make it even more difficult for middle class families to live and do business in the City of Decatur.
