Idawa: Here an interesting observation from my parents who moved away from Cd'A last July. They were in Cd'A for the 4th of July weekend and at all the parties they went to they heard friends tell them how "bad" it was getting in Cd'A and listened to a general tirade against growth (Kroc, new Hagadone Condos, etc). They were taken aback by the change in tone of their friends in only a year. They thought that people in Cd'A forget how good they have it. In Pocatello, where they've moved, progress has stopped. The city looks exactly the same as it did 15 years ago. The downtown is dead. The city is stuck in the 1980's. All in all, it's a boring, lifeless place. Be glad for change Cd’A, as a community it’s what keeps you young.

DFO: Indeed, the progress taking place now was something that we could only dream about in the early 1990s. Yet, some people want to turn back the clock or are fighting as hard as they can against the progress taking place. Amazing.
