Seems like every 7-10 years some busybody manages to get a measure on the ballot to incorporate & become a city & it's always soundly defeated, we don't want to deal with crap like what this article describes.

Usually the busybody is someone who moved here from a place with perfectly neat manicured front lawns & they don't like all the folks who have boats in their front yards. My opinion is, if you don't want to see a boat in front of every other house, don't move to an island. #Duh
