Before he can see the sky

Developers and contractors determine the way our world looks and it sucks. When we went to Wildwood, I saw a landscape that is consistent with many east coast communities, low houses all along the shore that allow for a vista for all. Except, that newly added condo-complexes are being built with four or five stories, successfully blocking the surrounding low houses from seeing the ocean or getting a breeze, which had been a huge part of the way in which beach towns existed until the bottom line became millions. It's unsettling that money is the determining factor in how our lives feel.
We went out to breakfast today and then walked over to a store to get something. That walk was in a place where there are no pedestrians and obviously it's because they all were hit by cars when they attempted to cross the eight lanes of traffic after the walk sign reared it's timid pale light for two seconds.
