Everybody Says It: 'Nobody Will Build in Boone'

The Boone bashers. They love claiming that no one can build here, now that there are actual REG-YOU-LATIONS on such stuff as steep slopes and viewshed.

But Boone's Development Services has issued its June report on current commerical projects that have been approved or are under construction. Does this look like a no-building boom to you?
