Let's call Charlie Langlinais and tell him "you will be assimilated. Resistance is futile." Let's all of us take a deep breath, and meditate on the difference between "master planning" and "central planning" :) - ragin_cajun Thu, 22 Apr 2010 18:00:10 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6099-chamber-to-address-comprehensive-plan#comment-7250 Well, as Conrad Comeaux has pointed out, we must set our sights on a comprehensively enforceable comprehensive plan that the owners of large tracts and farm lands can't simply opt-out of by being incorporated into the under or non-regulated small town-cities of Lafayette Parish, only to subject us all to the mutual costs of continued myopic sprawl development when their "farm"lands are converted to subdivision with endless cul-de-sacs and disjointed street networks, failing to provision adequate public spaces, space for parks, schools, churches, and how about reserving land in Lafayette Parish for actually growing food to feed ourselves? Any plan should also consider the visual quality of spaces to be created through the planning process, lest there be no point to living as we are social creatures after all (Unabomber types excluded of course.) Perhaps this could be investigated, if the Metropolitan Planning Organization would be an entity with legal authority to enforce such a plan as it would not only be parish-wide in scope, but beyond as it governs planning for some areas beyond Lafayette Parish based on census-data, as mandated by federal law. - Jason D.

Housed in the same locale as the Mean Green GPS MONITORS, INC. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Wed, 21 Apr 2010 22:46:06 +0100
