Big Kahuna, you are correct in that Langley Cove is not beautiful, even though I think you may be confusing it with the Prescott trailers that have been there for years and years. The Langley Cove Beach rights is only a very small strip of the cove. Yes, you are correct, this is not the Winnipesaukee of years ago and development appears inevitable and tons of money will be made by developers, realtors, banks, lawyers and some hidden perks to those in the know. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Capitalism is a wonderful thing and makes our economy strong. On the other side, what must be considered is the impact on the area which will be far reaching and for many many years make that generations to come. The environmental problems of runoff, anytime you pave a road or build a house, you waterproof the land and create runoff and this area is on a hill.. Sewage removial and treatment, get ready to build treatment plants ($$). Electrical supply for modern homes could be a problem. Increase in student populations, even though most of the units will not be residential some will be year round residents with kids in school ($$), and of course the traffic, both car and boat will increase. If we think it's busy on Thursday - Sunday now just wait and see what happens with all the development. The very things that make the lakes region so attractive could be its downfall. Trees, mountains, clean water and serenity are slowly going away. Our economy seems to be based on a pyramid scheme that requires never ending expansion. I guess it's just the way things are. I don't live there so my opinion may different than those that do.
