The infrastructure in general is lame for the areas North of the bridge and any investment should consider independent systems in the expense of building. That is to say make you own fresh water, process you own sewage, transport customers and personnel by boat, have an electricity generator backup and consider satellite internet connection, hire security in lieu of police protection...oh and don't expect to pay less tax because of the lack of these services.
Sounds like my attitude is hanging out again, doesn't it. It's soured after 20 years of this BS.
