No, I moved sufficiently far from the city to avoid it, unfortunately, the
city dwellers noticed, and are following me in droves. 10,000 new homes are
to be built to the east, 4,000 to the west. Fortunately, I live in a "dark
zone", the county mandates no street lights. Beautiful at night. I figure I
have a another 10 years before it is unpleasant enough that I will have to
move again.
