WATCH Camas Forum Rules
1. No Spam / Advertising / Self-promotion in the forums
That means unsolicited advertisement for goods, services and/or other web sites, or posts with little, or completely unrelated content. Do not spam the forums with links to your site or product, or try to self-promote your website, business or forums etc.
2. Do not post “offensive” posts, links or images
We can have a discussion, but let's be good neighbors. No blatent defamation, harassment, or abuse. Nothing deemed generally obscene, racist or otherwise overly discriminatory is permitted on the forums. Use common sense while posting.
3. Do not cross post questions
Please refrain from posting the same question in several forums.
4. Remain respectful of other members at all times
All posts should be neighborly and courteous. You have every right to disagree with your fellow community members and explain your perspective. But please do not blatently attack, degrade, insult, or otherwise belittle your neighbors.
5. No abusively "bumping" posts
A new post flows to the top of a feed, if you consistently post comments clearly intended to get your posts to the top of the page you will be contacted and can be banned if you refuse to stop.
6. Do not knowingly post copyright-infringing material
Providing or asking for information on how to illegally obtain copyrighted materials is forbidden.
7. No logical fallacies please
A logical fallacy is a flaw in reasoning. Logical fallacies are like tricks or illusions of thought, and they're often very sneakily used by dishonest folks to fool people and make them feel crazy. Common examples are: Straw Man, bandwagon, appeal to authority and gaslighting. See examples here: yourlogicalfallacyis.com
8. Please use your real name for your account.
We are real life neighbors in a real life town. This is the internet, but it's not THAT internet. We ask that you use your real name here (first and last). We feel that real names help improve the discourse and keeps posters accountable. If you have trouble changing that, please contact us for guidance.

Enforcement
You will never be banned without discussion. If you violate the rules stated above you will be warned if appropriate or immediately banned and contacted for a discussion. If we can clarify a misunderstanding, you will be reinstated.
THIS is the true danger facing the City's hidden plans to execute the construction of a full infrastructure package on the North Shore, so a few more families can sell their land for 10X what its worth without that taxpayer funded development of roads, and roundabouts, and sewers, and water, and schools, and fire stations. Can you imagine being the taxpayer footing a $250M development bill, at the same time the entire real estate market collapses and the builders never build up there?
Perhaps the council needs a refresher in fiduciary duty.
I suspect this council is going to start caring deeply about this now that they've gotten their win. I'm expecting them to continue publicly "spitting on the fire" so they can say "Well, thankfully we tried" when the time comes to realize the bill they left us with.
If you can't get a $78m pool voted through by your ungrateful citizens, the sentence for that crime seems to be death by a thousand $8m roundabouts without a vote.
I'd half expect them to build all of these roundabouts in open spaces and then say, "well, we built all of these roundabouts, but they aren't connected to a road. I guess we could just let them sit or you could vote on a $200m bond to build the roads to connect them. Up to you guys"
Camas loves to beg inevitability. I suspect they are building a slot machine in council chambers, you pull the arm and after spinning it spits out a pre-recorded "We've come this far" or "it's been 20 years" or "We spent all this money on Phase 1, we need to progress with Phase 2"
