Another letter obtained from a concerned resident

To Whom it may concern:
It has come to our attention that the town of Dennis is deciding to line the pockets of developers in a ‘deal’ that will raise the taxes of every resident of Dennis.  Additionally, it portents to  destroy the character of a charming  neighborhood, threaten the ecosystem and decrease the safety of those who use the ‘family beach’ rated  #6 by Parents  mag.
Dennis is considering the purchase of  a parcel of land adjacent to Mayflower Beach and tearing down the cottages which generate taxes…intended use: A PARKING LOT! 
The price of this purchase would exceed by $2mill. a previous offer of this land .  Two developers were unable to sell their proposed condos and “McMansions” so the town is stepping in to save the day.  The word ‘on the street’ is that this is  a ‘done deal’.
There’s been no opportunity to voice concern.
It will take decades to repay the investment of $4 million for 69 parking spaces.  
As Joni Mitchell’s song warns: “…they paved  Paradise and Put up a Parking Lot.”  The wisdom of our town fathers is seriously being questioned with this one…  HOW SAD!
