Its got nothing to do with ' not in my backyard ' but everything to do with being sensible and reasonable. Goodness me, we have not even undertaken 2 and 3 storey apartment developement in Milford and its surrounds, without the need to take the huge quantum leap to 12 and 17 storey Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763366316092865103.post-26663666150577911262012-10-04T10:39:32.340+13:002012-10-04T10:39:32.340+13:00Good to get some discussion.
