Thursday is the New Saturday

Packed house in the Bridgehampton Country Market today. The nice checkout lady said that Thursdays are like Saturdays. It seems that every single house is occupied right now.  And at every intersection there is a backup of at least six cars. Now we know what full build-out, of almost every single vacant lot and farm field feels like. This is suburbia without the infrastructure—lacking the police, transportation, schools and town services you would expect in Rye or New Canaan.  Yes, there are a few token specks of farmland, but this is no longer "the country" and our public officials must reflect this shift in zoning and other laws. The surge in density continues. We must demand public policy that does not further escalate this growth.
