Why doesn't North Carolina have more cattle? And why can't every new neighborhood here be flourishing with parks, bike paths, schools, and more? Maybe *you* know?
North Carolina is "old," as U.S. states go, and has been settled for a couple of centuries. Colorado is young. Lots of open, public land there. Not so much here. (The Rocky Mountains are babies, relatively speaking, compared to the Appalachians.) Also, we have lots of usable water. No place in the West does. I love Colorado. I wish we could have those nice things, too. Age, geography, and climate got in the way.
I freaking love this newsletter
