rural living- cant get much more OT!
Dont worry, its not stirred up....I know exactly what you mean.....Right now, in our area both rural townships and a nearby city has been amalgamated into one entity. Last month they tried to pass a bylaw restricting ownership of "livestock" such as horses and domestic fowl only to those who have Agricultural zoned land.....This set off a wildfire since there are literally thousands of people in this area living on 1-10 acres with ponies and horses and chickens in the backyard who are zoned as we are- Rural Residential, in the old township bylaw this permitted us to have "pets" and limited number of livestock etc.. This new law was written by beuracrats living in the city who had no concept of what its like to live in the country. Fortunately they have admitted their stupidity and are rewriting the law but can you imagine?? Thats why we moved out here to have ponies and chickens and things like that.... Brenda
