Future if left to the powers that be

Pataskala and Etna are on their way to hided the beauty of their surroundings behind nasty, dirty, and ugly little strip malls, used car lots, Dollar Generals, Fast Cash Now, random car washes, storage buildings'a'plenty, fast food chains, etc, etc, that our city government allows to pop up every where. There is no continuity, just a hodge-podge of blights on the surrounding landscape and embarrassments to this community.

Lord for bid we actually PLAN and stick to our plan for growth that does not have tacky, dilapidated strip malls on almost every single corner because a developer promised taxes, jobs, and a fairytale ending to all our problems. We zone and rezone until the neighbors are taxed to death and left to traffic night mares. So the city council and townsmen can have some issues to run their re-election campaigns.
