The Lakes Region was never, and is never, going to be a high-end jobs location. If somehow we could pave over the whole area and import several hundred thousand more people.....perhps good jobs would follow. But, most likely, perhaps not. And who would want such a thing ? The area is what it is.....a rural area on the edge of nothng but woods as you go north of here.
Older people retiring to the Lakes Region with their money is a boom for the local econmy. It's the only up-scale demographic that is likely to make the Lakes Region their home, and we are lucky to have them. This demographic group has done nothing but help the area....and if you have some info on how this is not so I would love to see it.
